“well.. regarding this tea is a sheng picked in 2012 and already 5 years old i can’t review the fresh taste of it, i bought it about 2 years ago in 2015 and the taste was near to none with a high...” Read full tasting note
During our summer 2012 stay in Xishuangbanna, we took a quick trip to Nannuo Mountain, on which a friend of ours had a small tea factory running in Zhu Lin Village, on the Northern part of the mountain, below the more famous Ban Po Lao Zhai. After a nice afternoon drinking tea, we decided to buy a bag of their leaves and pressed them into 250g cakes with simple wrappers. The leaves come from the small trees of the ancient tea gardens. Instead of making it available immediatly, we decided to store it and see how it turns.
After three years of storage in Southern France, it has turned into a nice everyday tea with some hints of lemon in the aroma and a pleasant mouthfeeling. As far as young tree tea goes, it is quite heavy in the mouth, a slight bitterness can be felt on the tongue.
While remaining a modest tea, it offers a decent mouthfeeling and aftertaste, which can make it a good candidate for those of you who favor body over fragrance. Astringency comes out rather early in the session, you can brew it about 5 times before it drops.
