Very different from the Shanghai Jin Jun Mei, which is cereal, biscuit and cornflake-like. Interesting aroma but disappointing development.
Dry aroma: Dried fruit and grape-like
Taste: Dried fruit or grape juice; tomato-paste-like note near the end of steep 2; slight tart or sour finish; steep 3 did not improve
Finish: Slightly sour, savory-fruit finish
