I have here a brief review of my 2015 Fuding Gong Mei cake. I may redo this one later on, as I didn't have an ideal testing scenario at the time. I also said "bread/bready" frequently. I'll consider brewing it again tonight and revising this.

Dry leaf smells of a light fruit bread. The brewed leaf possesses a more toasty, slightly buttery, concentrated fruit bread aroma.

Low thickness, astringency, and bitterness. 'Bready' flavor, with a mild sweetness that suggests some underlying fruity, mineral taste (especially in earlier brews). Longer brew times add a very welcome creamy texture, without any noticeable increase to astringency or bitterness. Greater temperatures and brew times simply exacerbate the aforementioned qualities. Likely some decent potential for this tea to improve and continue to mature with additional rest time in dedicated storage.
