TASTING
Delicate floral-fruit when young, honey-sugar with age — the aroma clings to the cup.
Barely any bitterness, sweetness up front, a soup like silk, lasting returning sweetness.
Trees of about 85 years at an average elevation of approx. 1,400 m; April 2026 batch. Yiwu is the start of the Tea Horse Road and the home of softness. Its core: a smooth soup, low bitterness, rich honey aroma — young tea carries a delicate floral-fruit scent that turns into settled honey-sugar with a few years of age and clings to the cup. On entry bitterness and astringency are barely there while sweetness stands out; the soup is thick and full, gliding like silk; salivation and returning sweetness arrive slowly but last remarkably. The liquor is golden and bright, turning orange-red with age; the leaf is dark, bold and plump, and it brews many infusions.
The dry leaf is delicately floral and fruity; honey rises first in the opening infusion, then sweet fragrance sinks into the soup after two; the empty cup holds its scent for a long time, turning to settled honey-sugar after years of age.
Almost no bitterness on entry, sweetness prominent; the soup is thick and full, passing the throat like silk; salivation and returning sweetness come slowly but last, with a sweet, moist finish and gentle warmth in the throat.
