I found this tea to be surprisingly outstanding. The first time I broke into it I was suffering from a sore throat, and found the crisp bitterness to be highly soothing and refreshing. Paul wrote on his page that his target was sweetness, which is certainly present in its intense fruit-flavors, but I find its persistent bitterness to be the highlight of the show. Powerful, complex and refreshing, this is an excellent exemplar of gushu Bulang terroir that doesn’t break the bank.
Flavors: Apricot, Leather, Straw
This is another sample from Paul at White 2 Tea. The 2014 White2Tea Manzhuan that I reviewed is Dr. Jekyll and this tea is Mr. Hyde. White 2 Tea says it best “An old arbor Menghai blend. Thick body, lingering kuwei [pleasant bitterness], and plenty of oomph. This tea is a continuation of last year’s New Amerykah. The blend is slightly different, focusing more on sweetness and body than on bitterness.”. This is an excellent young Sheng for those, like me, who like strong in your face Sheng pu’ers and it is definitely not a tea for those who don’t.
I’m sipping on this almost 3 years later and this review is still spot-on. Interestingly, this tea also soothed my soar throat. I’d say it’s underpriced.
