Gaoshan Zhai Yiwu Gushu Huangpian 2019 Spring

Japanese drink tea every day.

This tea is the best tea to drink every day.
I drink it every day by extracting with hot water or cold water.
I hear that Chinese people don’t drink the huangpian of tea very often, so it is just cheap, very tasty and delicious.

I ordered 400 g after taking the sample.

Here’s the memo I took.
Boiling, 80 ml, 2 g, 20 , 30, 45, 30 seconds
Use a small amount of tea leaves and a long extraction time.
Hot tea in hot season.
This method produces a complex taste and a good aftertaste.
So then 90 seconds, 60, 120, 210
It was so tasty that I couldn’t help drinking it.
This raw Puer tea has a soft taste that you feel when you take it in your mouth and a mineral taste that remains behind your tongue after you drink it.
The roots of Gushu trees are very deep, so the taste of minerals is very comlplex and impressive .

This tea is very good even this kind of tea.
I think it’s their conscience to sell these teas.

Thank you.

Gongfu!

This was a free sample from my Yiwu Mountain order – and it seemed like a very nice selection. Super sweet and fragrant smelling; definitely had the dry leaf aroma of tangy lemon curd! It was making me insane wondering what it would taste like, so I brewed this one first out of all the the teas from that order – in my Yiwu yixing pot, of course.

This one steeps a really lovely pale yellow/gold colour, but with a taste that is much stronger than the infusions would seem to indicate. There’s a lot of tang and sweetness of a baby sheng, without the bitterness. Sweet and tangy lemon notes are 100% what I’m picking up from this tea; so many different sorts of lemon related things spring to mind throughout the session: lemon candies, lemon curd, lemon sherbet…

It’s a very nice tea/session!
