Sweet aftertaste coats your mouth and stays. The flavor starts with gentle bitterness, then shifts to wildflower honey and orchid. Good for evening.
The compressed cake contains dark green-brown leaves of substantial size from ancient trees. Long, twisted leaves with stems indicate wild growth patterns. The dry aroma is intensely floral with nectar and orchid character. Breaking the cake reveals thick leaf material with good integrity.
Brewing produces a clear golden-yellow liquor. The first infusion shows gentle bitterness that quickly transitions to sweetness. Orchid florals dominate the mid-palate. Wildflower honey notes develop in subsequent steeps. The body is medium with mouth-stimulating qualities. The bitterness remains slight and resolves quickly into lingering sweetness. Multiple infusions maintain the floral character with increasing honey notes. The aftertaste persists long after swallowing.
From Jingmai Dazhai in Lancang County, Yunnan Province, using 2018 ancient tree material. Suited for drinkers who appreciate floral-forward raw pu-erh with balanced bitterness and sweet finish.
