Like drinking honeyed caramel with hints of fresh tobacco and citrus. The body is light yet coating on the tongue.
The compressed cake shows green-brown leaves with golden tips scattered throughout. Breaking the cake reveals long, whole leaves with minimal breakage. The dry aroma is bright and honey-sweet with fresh, clean notes. The leaf size indicates spring harvest with visible bud and leaf sets still intact.
The liquor steeps a clear yellow-green. First tastes bring immediate honey sweetness with rock sugar clarity. The profile develops caramel notes mid-palate, followed by fresh tobacco character. Citrus hints appear in later infusions. The body is medium with slight astringency that fades quickly. The mouthfeel becomes fuller with continued steeping. Multiple infusions show good endurance with evolving sweetness.
From Mengyou Town, Fengqing County in Yunnan Province, this represents raw pu-erh from Lincang. Works for drinkers seeking complex raw pu-erh with prominent sweetness and layered flavor development.
