2012 Zhong Cha - Yellow Label

2012 Zhong Cha - Yellow Label

Semi aged sheng from famous Zhong Cha tea company. Tea was previously stored in Menghai where ripened to this color and obtained sort of "lao cha wei". The gold dark ish tea soup is bitter and slightly astringent notes will reveal the "tai di cha" presence. However ,balanced wet&dry storage , moderate "sheng jing" and  "hui gan" shift this cake to decent ranking despite the lower grade material.
