White leaf night. COFCO/Butterfly - 2019 Zhong Cha White Beauty 5929. Used a bit too much material, so it didn't open up much yet (pic from ~2nd infusion), but still has pleasant flavor/aroma notes. Notable cacao note on the nose, some subtle fruit (blackberry?), more refreshing herbal on the tongue, smooth and creamy soft bitterness. Interestingly, checking my notes, less floral and more cacao compared to the past. It does still have those floral notes, but they feel merged in the bitterness/aftertaste, kind of like a huigan. Rather nice development for only ~1.5y. Storage has changed this cake a little; perhaps my tastebuds too. Not trying to observe it too strictly right now anyway, I just had a want for it tonight.
