I was most excited about this 2024 Laos Single Extra Tall Tree(approx $300.00 for 200g cake or $1.50/g) sample having never tried a single tree sample from Laos before despite travelling there to the tea growing region. It was not a preferable method of tea drinking back then large trees were always combined together ...

Second infusion has a soft sweet onset with a gentle curved sweet evolution. There is sugar, creamy sweet and a pop and trailing off of melon. Silty smooth mouthfeel. Mild body floating feeling. Tingling face. Deep sigh.
