tasting notes:

qi activates after first rinse already
brewed with short concetrated way (about 4 grams for 50mili of water)
light grassy fruity energizing instantly with the first real brew, (fresh) nutty notes in the background
thick lazy drops (drops left (about 3 minutes) in the vessel after a brew) amplifies all the features
a very transparent brew showing a good processing of the leaves
nutty notes dominates
fruitiness comes up with 4-5th brew, veery tasty
there is in each or every second brew new flavours and notes appearing
a bitterness taste that reminds me of some maochas from Six famous mountain, a bit of Yibang, a bit of Bulang

notes of a second tasting session:

realizing that Duchek’s rye teapot gives a great fresh maocha experience I thought to have this again in it and the experience was even deeper than the previous using Jiri Lang houhin

fresh seeds, fruity, multicolour playful in terms of taste, flavours pooping up all over the mounth, a very distinct aftertaste, crispy and again fruity exotic taste, the tongue is literally coated with it, a happy mood giver, a grapefruit characteristic bitterness or a bitter orange feel
