TASTING
Floral-fruit and honey aromas surge, with a distinct mountain-wild energy.
Bold on entry, bitterness gone in a flash; strong returning sweetness and salivation, a mellow soup.
Trees of about 80 years at an average elevation of approx. 1,450 m; April 2026 batch. Mengku large arbor is known for its bold, forceful character: floral-fruit and honey aromas surge, with a distinct mountain-wild energy. Bitterness and astringency are noticeable on entry yet dissipate fast, turning at once into strong returning sweetness and salivation — one sip, and bitterness gives way to sweetness. The soup is mellow, full and layered; the young tea pours golden and bright, turning orange-red with age; the leaf is plump and soft, and it brews many infusions.
The dry leaf carries a clear mountain-wild energy; in the first infusion floral-fruit and honey surge together, assertive and direct; the empty cup holds a solid sweet scent that stays.
Bold on entry — bitterness is clear yet fades fast; strong returning sweetness and salivation follow, bitterness turning to sweetness in one sip; the soup is mellow and full, clearly layered, and the energy still carries at the finish.
