2005 Xiaguan Jia Ji Raw 100g
This is a high quality green pu-erh tuocha. “Jiaji” Tuo, classic recipe from Xia guan. A pungent “chaqi” with a good thick mouthfeel and strong “huigan”. Good potential for further aging! The color of the tea liquid is orange, very smooth and delightful to drink.
The tuocha won the Silver Award for State Excellent Quality in 1981, 1985 and 1990. In 1989 it was approved as a nationwide famous tea and given the Title of the First Famous Tea Products by the state and province.

Xiaguan Tea FactoryFinally, a nice mature sheng. This is a first for me – I’ve been trying lately to get some older shengs, however, none brought the taste and texture that I’ve been expecting. Not this one. This is how I imagine a proper mature sheng should be like.
The soup is orange, deep yellow. But the excitement is coming from the scent of the tea leaves first. The smell is smoky, fermented at first. And then the notes of berries, cranberries start to emit from the leaves. This is something really complex, really interesting.
The taste is also retain this complexity: the notes of smokiness and tobacco is not overwhelming but still remains, and then the light astringency of berries also lingers in the soup. Finally a great, complex, mature sheng that I was looking for!
Flavors: Berries, Cranberry, Smoke, Tobacco
I’m no sheng expert, but this one’s good. Slightly off yellow toward orange, so it definitely has matured a bit in 4 years. It definitely doesn’t have quite the bite of the few younger sheng I’ve drank.
Prepared gongfu style – about 6g of leaf in a 5.75 oz Yixing pot. One 10s rinse and rest, then steeps at around 15s for the first few and gradually increased.
I got a ’97 version of this which is superb
