TASTING
Sharp, lifted orchid fragrance and an unmistakable signature wild-mushroom aroma.
Supple with a pressing weight on the tongue, lasting rock-sugar sweetness, strong cha qi with a clear bodily feeling.
Average altitude about 800 m, trees around 100 years old, April 2023 batch — two years aged. Xigui's style is known as "the Banzhang of Lincang": cha qi as commanding as Banzhang's, with a uniquely supple soup and a mushroom note — a low-altitude mountain that grew the force of the high ones. The aroma is sharp and lifted, instantly recognizable — fresh tea carries a rich orchid fragrance, and most distinctive of all is a "mushroom aroma" like wild fungi, Xigui's signature, with a lasting scent in the empty cup. Soft on entry, low bitterness and astringency that fades fast; the soup thick and full, the texture fine, pressing the tongue like thin rice broth; high sweetness with a lasting "rock-sugar" sweetness. Mouth-watering and returning sweetness surge like a spring filling the mouth; the cha qi is strong, the bodily feeling unmistakable.
