Had W2T's 2023 Snoozefest earlier. Nice whole leaves and some good aroma qualities. Somewhat reminds me of FL's Cang Yuan for some reason.

Dry leaf smells of acai and/or some other light berry. Wet leaf opens up a raspberry note. Just a hint of peppermint on the gong dao bei. Chewed the dry leaf out of interest, and detect something liquorice-like. Strange.

Medium texture, low-medium bitterness and astringency. Light fruitiness on the palate, reminiscent of the aforementioned wet leaf notes. Some light, bitter cruciferous aftertaste (maybe spinach?) that returns with a subtle huigan. Qualities remind me a bit of a Jingmai sheng I've had before. Not especially sweet, but has a nice aroma overall.
