Togo drank 2020 Cha Nong Hao "Meng Song Village" White Tea Cake by Yunnan Sourcing

1029 tasting notes

I have had this cake for a few years, but I only opened it today for the first time. Until now I would always go for the 2018 vintage. At some point, I should also do a side-by-side comparison.

The tea is really well-balanced and flavourful, and has a supple and smooth texture. At this price, one could hardly ask for more. The taste is quite sweet, but with many undertones – malt, wood, bitter, floral, citrus zest. The aftertaste has strong honey and apricot notes. A pleasant experience overall.

Flavors: Apricot, Bitter, Bittersweet, Citrus Zest, Floral, Hay, Honey, Malt, Smooth, Sweet, Thick, Wood

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 0 min, 45 sec 6 g 5 OZ / 140 ML

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
