This tea was made using material coming from at least 50-year-old tea bushes, by very skilled and experienced tea master. It is obvious from the very first infusion as masterfully processed great material gives this tea richness and depth of aroma and flavor, both return moment after drinking it with even more intensity.
Alluring sweet aroma is constantly changing and smelling lid of gaiwan as it cools down is experience on itself. True magic starts after first sip, initial impression of flavor is being enriched moment after taking a sip with returning flavor of great intensity and richness. Tea goes long way and can produce many mesmerizing infusions constantly surprising with how it can change.
Smooth, sweet and medium thickness liquor produces aroma so strong that I could easily smell it drinking tea outside and sitting bit further away from the table. During my session aroma have produced incredible mix of notes going from sweet and warm through fruity to floral and honey like. I found myself sitting with gaiwan lid next to my nose and constantly experiencing aromas with my eyes closed and smile on my face.
I have done more than 12 rich infusions when I stopped counting and just enjoyed the tea, and there is so much to enjoy. First impression of taste may be simple, but returning flavor fills the mouth with amazing richness of flavors and lingers there for very long time. Further infusions bring more complexity to initial taste still bringing ever evolving returning flavor and aroma. Returning flavor comes with impression of coolness and freshness, which fits its flavor profile very well, bursting with various fruit, like peaches, mango, papaya, pineapple, with touches of wood and sweet, warm notes.
Very potent tea and works well with less leaves than usual or alternatively shorter infusions, and it can last very long time. We love all tea, but some just need to be experienced, and this tea definitely is one of them.
