Full-bodied and coating with nectar sweetness and orchid notes up front. Woody tobacco undertones develop as it cools. Perfect for afternoon contemplation.
The cake shows tightly compressed dark green and silver leaves with visible stems and intact leaf structure. The surface has a slight sheen with scattered white buds. Breaking the compression releases nectar-sweet aromas combined with faint orchid florals and tobacco hints.
Steeping produces a bright golden-yellow liquor with excellent clarity. The opening infusion delivers immediate sweetness with nectar and orchid notes dominating. Mid-palate develops fuller body with wood and light tobacco coming through. The texture feels substantial and coating. Third through fifth steeps maintain the sweet floral core while adding fruity undertones and more pronounced woodiness. Light astringency appears in later infusions but remains balanced.
From Jingmai Dazhai in Lancang County, Yunnan Province, using 2018 ancient tree material. Suited for raw pu-erh drinkers who appreciate floral character and those exploring single-origin ancient tree productions.
