Details:

this tea is indeed something, these short notes are only my memories from yesterday’s local tea tasting session in Bratislava TEABAR, people from this session today wrote that this tea sent me to the universe and indeed, from the first sip which spread a mighty Cha Qi flow or rather set it in motion indicated that a storm is coming, first I noticed a not specific or rather hard do describe soft bitterness that got more and more rich with each sip,

one note, this tea, about 6 grams we shared 6 people so that I got a bit of it with each brew, imagine its true strength still we have to mention that we already tried before Yiwu ZJW, Gedeng and Rare5 but this LB blew my mind off, it’s unique taste profile that is so distinct and hard to come by these days, still I believe LB is so famous not because of its taste, such Rare5 can compete with but the strengh of LB and what it does with the body and mind is unbeatable
