TASTING
Nectar and florals interwoven — the enchanting breath of a primeval forest.
Sweet, mellow and fine with reserved energy — a silk-smooth soup and a deep, cool throat note.
Trees of about 300 years at an average elevation of approx. 1,200 m; April 2026 batch. Same Guafengzhai, but the ancient-tree soup steps up a level: nectar and floral notes interwoven, the fragrance high yet dissolved in the liquor, a lasting mark on the empty cup — and that breath of primeval forest is the most enchanting part. On entry it is sweet, mellow and fine, with barely a trace of bitterness or astringency — behind the gentleness hides a strong, reserved energy; a few cups in, the body warms faintly and you burp, the sensation unmistakable. The liquor is golden and luminous, full and weighty, its flow fine and silky-smooth; returning sweetness is quick and lasting, salivation endless, the throat note deep and cool, the sweetness lingering long.
Still the high, interwoven nectar-and-floral register, but the ancient tree presses the scent deeper, closer to the liquor; the freshness of a primeval forest runs through, and the empty cup holds its scent even longer.
The soup steps up a level: sweet, mellow and fine on entry with barely any bitterness or astringency; full and weighty in body, its flow silky-smooth; behind the gentleness a strong energy — the sensation builds, the throat note deep and cool.
