From TheTea

Made from trees older than 100 yrs old – trees are not too high because they were cut back in the past and then left to grow again so there can have 3-6 new trunks coming out of the original tree base. It’s common practice in Yiwu and generally in area of Six Famous Mountains.
What is most important – trees grow in clean and natural environment without pesticides and herbicides.
Flowery with gentle notes of honey, berries and grassy juiciness. Bitterness is quite low but aftertaste is so clean and sweet. Qi makes you focused and aware.

2021 batch is slightly different than 2020 because new pu-erh has very pleasany smoky nuances. Not offensive, gentle but makes the tea more interesting and brings some “old school” charm.
Puerh made from spring leaves and stone pressed in October.

Origin: Yiwu natural, traditional garden, Xisuangbanna, Yunnan, China.

Vintage/Harvest: April 2021

Tea vartietal: Camellia Sinensis var Assamica

Tea trees age: all above 100 years old.

I sometimes find Yi Wu sheng to lack a bit of depth, or bitterness; but this one has both. The taste profile is indeed quite floral and mineral with an elegant bitterness and spiciness, as one would hope for. There are also some sour notes, and a sweet grassy aftertaste that reminds me of sencha a bit. While the flavours are common for a tea from this area, there isn’t nearly as much of the honey sweetness that one may be expecting. I don’t really mind that. The main hesitation I have about it has to do with the mouthfeel that is not the smoothest or the thickest. I really like the cooling and cleansing sensation after drinking though.
