Menghai Tea Factory(from berylleb ebay)Complex; sweet and smooth. This is a 500g melon shaped bowl tea with very tight compression and the picking resulted in lots of pieces – even a bit of tea dust. Deep red-orange tea liquor which is rather clear and bright. Fruity sweetness – stonefruit and honeydew on a lightly woody base. No smoke or off-putting tastes found. Nice mouthfeel and the chaqi builds over the session. Overall an interesting aged tea – complex; appealing flavor profile dominated by a fruity sweetness; good longevity. The tight compression is the only negative factor.
Considering its large size, seems like a decent value buy.
Considering age+500g, I would agree.
I like how you’ve reviewed so many of Finepuer’s teas. I’m certainly a fan of their 2009 wild Yong De Da Xue Shan. Did you detect any medicinal notes in the 2001 Golden Melon? Does it drop off at any point or ever get bitter?
