This is freaking amazing, TOP3 shou I've had in my entire life. Absolute must try for any serious collector. Worth trying and having in one's collection at ANY price. Smell: both dry and wet smell are very complex, with floral notes of spices. Tasting notes: thick oily texture, lots of complex fermented flavors, palate is stimulated for multiple minutes after each cup. A lot of amazing long lasting bitterness.

Rich and full tea that warms and relaxes the whole body. It has a wonderful aroma that compliments the taste. Very mild tannin's as it cools but does not leave any fuzz on tongue.......Makes the mouth water rather than dry. Is well balanced and an all round pleasant tasting tea to drink. One thing about Hai Lang Hao teas is just how far they stretch.....I am on my 7th cup and it is getting stronger not weaker so still has many more cups left. That is with only 3 grams in a small pot. If you factor that into the price then it actually is not as high price as it seems.

I didn’t know what to expect, but I gotta say it was absolutely wonderful experience! Such thick, strong, full bodied creaminess with balanced cha qi! So worth the money.

If price is a factor, this is right up there with high end neighbors. Tasty, viscous and smooth with a nice cha qi. I have enjoyed each and every Hai Lang Hao I have sampled (only 7 so far). Each seem to have that Hai Lang Hao flavor profile, yet each is slightly different as well. This one is right up there as to what I like. Not my favorite of the lot, but solid none the same. If you are a ripe fan, I would highly suggest getting a sample and find out for yourself what this Hai Lang Hao praise is all about. Tea on

Very great tea and a privilege to taste. Even at $800/500g the cost for a couple per tea session is about the same as the couple ordering lattes at the local coffee shop.
