Spring harvest of small arbor trees from Nan Nuo mountain. Fruity body of typically very well clean stored semi aged sheng puerh in Kunming in which you still can sense some flowery notes ( especially in lighetr infusions ). Bitterness with some astringency comes with harder steepings to let you know young age of tea trees after all. Suitable for the...
Slight smoky notes coming from hot gaiwan. We suggest to wash two times these bits & pieces of arbor trees pressed hard into the 4-5g mini tuo, in order to get the real "juice" out of it. Crushed leafs will spread quickly right after that and you might be experiencing excessive bitterness due to overstepping, so make sure that you brew it in proper...
The spring tea material from bushes blended with arbor tea trees growing on Youle mountain. Nice scent of "mei li" plums on dry wood will hit your nose if you stare into your gaiwan while pouring hot water on those tea leafs. Clean medium dark tea soup is sweet and full in mouth. "sheng jing" is graduating within each steeping and lingering at the back of...
Honey and chrysanthemum fragrance vaporing out from hot gaiwan would suggests that origin of tea leafs would from Lincang area ( or mix ) rather than Menghai as it says on the wrapper. However it's not as important as the actual taste. As obviously this is a regular bush ( table ) tea, the characteristics are more than surprising.
This quite old tea bits and pieces pressed into the small 6g brick. Mixture of bushes with small arbors and some "huang pian" provides quite unique taste. The "xuan mi cha" which is special Japanese tea ( combination of deep fried rice with green tea ) . Put in simple words, tea is bitter-sweet ( very warming ) , has "hui gan" slight "sheng jing" on sides...
Spring harvest of small arbor tea trees growing on the slopes located above the Lahu village Hua Zhu Liang Zi which is around at 2000m. alt. Original flowery notes and biting astringency had transformed into the smooth fruity taste due to the slow ageing in our Kunming storage. Very pleasant "hui gan" in form of honey notes forming up a the back of...
Spring harvest from big tea trees ( not Gushu ) growing in the forest near the Mengsong village. Small batch so there is no proper designed wrapper, yet tea inside is more important. Clean and dry Kunming storage preserved original notes while aged fruitiness evolved in the overall taste. Hint of honey aroma in brewed tea leaves , some bitterness in...
Deep scent of flowers with camphor notes can be experienced when you unwrap this vintage sheng pu from Zhong Cha. Mixed tea material from the Menghai mountains is not the highest grade but the proper dry storage makes this tea cake outstanding. After 3rd infusion allow yourself a break before brewing the 4th one and wait what is developing in your mouth.
Takes few minutes to make this approx. 0.6-0.8g "cha gao" tea paste start dissolve properly. Its very "user friendly" as you can easily control the thickness of each infusion and no need any strainer, since there are no leafs or dust. Special glass teapots are designed go those "cha gao" but of course you can brew it the way you like or can. No bitterness...
Vintage hard pressed sheng pu from Zhong Cha company needs few infusions to get the leafs release nice clean dry bitter-sweet taste with woody and slight fruity notes. "hui gan" is there as well and mouth sweet comes around after few infusions.
"jia ji" - top grade in translation is suggesting that this well stored sheng pu-erh from Zhong Cha tea company should be the real deal. Sure it is. Full tea leafs carefully pressed release fruity scent even though the wrapper. Those notes are much intensive when brewing first infusions and sweetness through the many steepings with touch dry wood and hint...
Sweet fruity notes from the 2017 Pa Sha Lao Zhai - Gu Hua , along with slight herbal and plummy sweetness of aged Zi Juan ( purple variety tea leaf from Puer area ) makes the taste of this tea quite bit far rom conventional semi-aged shengs. Very soft and balanced tea liquor achieved by blending Mao Cha from 3 different villages based on their specific...
