Opens with slight bitterness that shifts into caramel and honey sweetness. The smooth, full body carries earthy undertones through each sip.
The compressed cake shows thick, substantial leaves in dark green to brown tones with visible stems and golden tips scattered throughout. Leaves appear large and robust, indicating old-growth tree material. The dry cake releases warm honey aromas with caramel sweetness and subtle earthiness.
Brewing yields golden-yellow liquor with slight cloudiness. Opening steeps present soft bitterness that immediately transforms to honey sweetness. Mid-infusions develop rich caramel notes balanced by earthy undertones and mineral character. The body builds progressively, coating the mouth with viscous texture. Later steeps maintain sweetness while earthiness becomes more prominent. The flavor transitions smoothly across multiple infusions.
From Fengqing County in Lincang, Yunnan, an area known for ancient tree resources and large-leaf varietals. This 2020 production shows characteristic Fengqing sweetness with balanced structure. Appeals to drinkers who enjoy raw pu-erh with immediate sweetness and caramel notes rather than primarily bitter or astringent profiles.
