304 Tasting Notes
One of my favorites wish they made it into a cake larger than 150 grams. dark mysterious woody and subdued floral hints. I resteep about three times. I liked this so much I purchased a 750 gram tin of five and it is a go to when I want a smooth tea at the end of the day. 100 percent top pu-er! You must be a pu-er drinker not for the faint of heart! Re-steep adding about 15 seconds to your prior time I get about 4 out of it.
Preparation
purchased as a fairly new production tea. i think a few years aging will mellow this tea out some. i think it has too much of a licorice taste for me as of yet,but i am sure with aging that will go away to the smooth menghai taste that i am used to. btw the 2010 star of menghai entirely different.
Preparation
another tea in line with the smaller 150 gram Menghai Dayi Wu Zi Deng Ke cake. very similar just a larger version. floral fruity and dark tea good for multiple steeps.earthy aroma. wash tea the first steep discard and drink the second one.
Preparation
a lemony tea with a good burst of energy. the leaves are very fine would suggest a french press or a very fine strainer.i used a tea ball on this but the leaves were so fine that it escaped from it.use a quick infusion time for this tea,
Oh shut up! Bragger! You had better not go anywhere carrying this on you is all I can say…you won’t be safe!!!
I went to Church today…I forgot Thou Shalt Not Covet…well…drats!
mrmopar, How many grams/oz. do you recommend? Rinse for how long? Thanks!
looseTman 10 grams with a 5 second wash. Let sit for about 20 minutes and brew 3 quick steeps in a Gaiwan for about 5 seconds each combined in a big cup for me at least.
Thanks for the detailed brewing parameters. How many oz. for 10g?
It’s about 3oz in the Gaiwan. I normally combine the three steeps together for a big cup.
Thanks!
