These plump green and silver leaves are to ruffle up some anticipation after last year’s flew so quickly out the door. This lot comes from the same trees a century year old, scattered around the lauded village; picked, pressed, and sent right over so that we can enjoy the tea as fresh as the locals like it. The fragrance of the opened leaves is invigorating and reminds of a spring shower over an orange grove. With subsequent brews the flavour takes a fruiter notch to fresh foliage before the gliding into an astringency lead boldness and a force of cha qi recognizable to the sheng connoisseur. We have found that a longer steep with fewer leaves will bring out an inner sweetness and nuances in structure and body.

Got this one because I wanted to finally try a puerh from LBZ. I was a bit underwhelmed, tbh. I guess people mostly do this style of tea for the cha qi, though I didn’t get a potent one from this. The flavor is just very vague and subtle and not worthwhile.
There is some apricot in the nose of the dry leaves. Moderate astringency comes in the middle steeps. A bit of sweetness in the later steeps. Just not much to latch onto in terms of flavors.
