Description
This is a first flush tea harvested between April 1 to April 3, 2020 and pressed on April 8, 2020.
The tea trees where this tea comes from are around 200 years old. The cultivar is a mix of small & big leaf varietals, which is a special phenomenon found in very few places including Naka.
Drank this after a VERY stressful day. Qi goes to the head and leaves one feeling peaceful heart and a little bit floaty and removed. Perfect for stress. Pairs well with strong salty tastes like turkey salami or cheese.… more

I love holidays because I can finally drink my Shengs in my clay teapot. Fun to drink with a friend. It has definitely changed over the three times I’ve tasted it.
I am definitely a little tea drunk right now.

Short session after lunch today. Excited to finally try the May teas! This tea was delicious but immediately had a very strong impact on me so I had to eat something right away. It tastes nutty and floral to me.

Tastes and smells delicious, but very strong effect from caffeine. Must eat something while drinking.

Hello friends! I’m new to this, but enjoyed tasting and documenting my experience with one of the May Club teas. Looking forward to tasting the rest!

A light, floral tea that reminds me of white tea. A hint of bitterness to start with a very floral and mineral body and a pleasant, sweet finish. Smells floral with a hint of cinna… more

Super enjoy. To me this was very similar to the maocha, which is a good thing. Floral, gentle, and sweet, good energy. I’m not a big tasting notes person as I find that I spend mor… more

The tea started out with a light vegetal taste. Very little bitterness. The rinse had not broken up the tea and many leaves were clumped together, so that first tasting was not exp… more
