From Tea Encounter

Gua Feng Zhai is one of the most famous tea villages in Yiwu. It’s known for its sweetness, for being silky and smooth with a pleasant aftertaste.

When we visited Yunnan this year we met a Gua Feng Zhai farmer and sampled his teas. This was our favorite. It’s sweet with some green pears taste and can be brewed many times. We really enjoyed the mouthfeel of this tea. It’s a very tasty tea.

This is tea made from small and medium size tea trees. If it was a Gushu the price would have an extra zero. We are very happy to offer it.

This is a really good tea for the price. It has a great creamy mouthfeel and the fact that it doesn’t steep forever may be seen as an advantage in certain circumstances. I also like the calming, meditative, spacey qi that’s not too strong.

Dry leaves smell of stables, mountain forests (conifers, heather), and candy floss. In the teapot, I get a pungent and spicy mixture of aromas of peat, wild flowers, sunflower seeds, green peppercorns, and banana leaves.

The tea is thick and full-bodied form the first infusion, even though the taste is mild at first. It is fresh, mineral and zesty with notes of citrus and okra there. Next few infusions ramp up the intensity with flavours of beeswax, sweet grass, green wood, pawpaw fruit as well as courgette and squash in the finish. While the tea is sufficiently sour, the aftertaste is mostly sweet.
