This is a highly lubricating, cooling tea that promotes intense salivation. Notes of butter and apricot mix with a little smokiness and a more pronounced fruitiness in the later steeps. Not overly sweet with good longevity.
Like Superman in his guise as a mild-mannered reporter, the smoothness and amiable nature of this tea belies its powerful narcotic effects, which are considerable.
A really nice selection.

HA! Man, we are in sync I started it last night and I’m drinking it right now. I though it was going to be more complex based on the dry leaf scent but it is mostly balanced and thick with a sort of light oil feel. Nice note.
That’s hilarious! We do seem to have similar tastes. I’ll probably return to it this afternoon.
I’m going to try the 2015 Da Qing Gushu later. I haven’t tried it yet but I did open the sample bag to open it. If you have it I’ll go ahead and say it smells promising.
I’m a fan of that Daqing. That and the Huangshan are my favorites of the Jinggu teas Scott released for spring.
Something else for my wish list!
Jschergen, those two are VERY good. Doug get ready to be broke this coming holidays. lol
I’m already spending my annual bonus. I just got in touch with Emmett to get in on the group order of the YangQingHao teas. The Yiwu chawang that James just reviewed sounds delicious.
Nice! Those are some great teas. The TsangLiu (to be reviewed next week) is another option if you want something a little heavier. Same price. Hard to go wrong with any of the Yiwu/Mengla County teas that Yang is selling.
This is the Puerh version of the opposite of an AA meeting. LOL I’m just making notes on what to try next. See you in the next PEA meeting guys. (Puerh Enablers Anonymous)
Hahahaha :).
This is a great tea.
Definitely agree with @jschergen “Hard to go wrong with any of the Yiwu/Mengla County teas that Yang is selling.”!!!!
Did you start working your way through them @DigniTea?
Worked through several samples Emmett sent with my order. Next week I’ll start hitting the new cakes!
