Gul te, Leizu's Golden Silk

I was skeptical about yellow tea but this one has such a lively, clean taste that I've already reordered. The silky mouthfeel really does live up to the description, and it steeps beautifully without any bitterness.

The texture alone makes this worth it—silky smooth in a way I’ve never felt from another yellow tea, and that lively brightness stays pleasant even after the third cup. I’m already planning my next order.

The first steep has that lively, almost honeyed brightness the description promises, and the mouthfeel really does live up to the "silky" claim—it coats the tongue without any bitterness. I brewed it a bit cooler than usual and it stayed smooth through three infusions.
