Description
This tea has an adorable floral flavour that makes it an affordably florid favourite. Put that all together and this tea can simply be described as “affloraldorable”.
But seriously, in typical Jingmai fashion, this small-tree tea unleashes a strong orchid fragrance and overall floral and fragrant character, producing a tongue twister of flavour.
A clear fan favourite in 2019, the 2020 version is an equally excellent daily drinker with tong-worthy characteristics.
Picking period: Pre-April 2
$0.13/gram
All of our samples for spring 2020 are in dragon ball form. While these balls will perform the same as the cake, they can be slightly trickier to brew. Here’s how we do it:

//Eyes dry leaf
Both 2019 and 2020 versions have similar looking leaves. Same amount of buds/leaves/stems. Talking of colors, the 2020 version a little more army green and sienna brown tones.
//Nose dry leaf
2020: More floral than it’s counterpart. Old leather, summer food and minerality
2019: There’s a kind of heaviness in the smell (I know it’s weird to say). Pleasant smell of hay in the field
//Nose wet leaf
2020: Total and strong punch of hay, minerality and wet clothes drying outside
2019: Intense floral notes and a kiss of tart
//Eyes liquor
Similar color of the liquor: yummy orange. Note that 2020 is a bit darker and looks thicker
//Mouth texture
Cheeks and teeth coating Thick texture (a bit more for 2020)
//Mouth taste
2020: Vanilla cake with almonds and honey. Dough and vegetable in the ricecooker. Hay. Wet rock. Tiny sweetness
2019: Less intense in general. Lighter vanilla cake and dough taste
//Nose Empty Cup
Butter madeleines. Plus an orange blossom bonus for 2020
//Body sensation
Dry to juicy mouth sensation. Feel my heartbeat in my arms. Eyes awake and super active brain.
//Brewing notes
1 gram per 20 mL of water at 95C
Brew 1 : 13 seconds

You will have lot a top quality brews. Get prepared to drink a lot
//Overall impression
Really happy with the 2020 improved taste. Will certainly become my go-to of the week after the 2019 runs out. Tea to keep in mind for the next few years.
