Much like an octogenarian opera singer at the opening night of High School Musical, I’m pretty sure I’m not the target audience for this one.
The dry leaf aroma is superb, and the post-session appearance of the leaves is what I imagine Michelangelo or Rodin would have done if tasked with sculpting sheng leaf out of marble. It is decently long-lived, and boasts an impressive flavor profile, though greener than I am determining I prefer.
However, this tea was not well received by my innards in its current state. In a decade, it will likely be a thing of beauty (and long sold out), but I haven’t the proper setup for the care of feeding of tea over that scale of time.
I can only imagine how robust the spring iterations of this tea are – but for my own safety, I’ll leave that knowledge purely to my imagination.

diet tea: cleans ya right out!
2014 was a drought year and tea got fairly strong. I buy a lot of 2014 to store for posterity.
interesting. Theres a few 2014 teas that I like & its something rich in the flavour that I like about them
Hmmm, I do not believe I’d had a 2014 before this… I’ll keep it in mind and see if there’s a trend!
Cywn, are you referring to certain areas in china or across the world,certain teas etc? can you give us the lowdown
Yunnan’s climate is quite unique and diverse due to its inland location, southerly latitude yet high elevation, particularly in Lincang. I imagine one would have to look at the local weather forecasts for each respective county in order to know for sure.
