Glad it was helpful, thank you for watching!

Thanks for sharing, this is a good easy gauge for a first approach. It can be applied also to sheng puerh, the translucency and the funky taste I mean.

[@JeffreyMcIntosh]

Indeed, if the tea is tasty, clean and comfortable then that is always a good sign. Thanks for watching.

What is a Chinese "medicine aroma " ?.. I like the damper storage of taiwanese tea's . I some times get a stronge "multch leaf" smell and taste. On the odd occation I ask , is this too damp ?

[@JeffreyMcIntosh]

Hi Robert, the Chinese medicine aroma is similar to ginseng or traditional herbs in some ways, or a Chinese medicine/herbal shop.

[@Ermans8]

I think call that aroma "herbal", a bit like the taste you usually find in green teas, but darker.
