Still under a decade old, this 2007 ancient tree Bing Dao is exceptionally smooth and sweet, with a strong honey taste and plenty of cha qi. The huigan is also quite noticeable and long lasting.
This is a great top-shelf tea for lovers of Bing Dao or Lin Cang region teas, as it does a fine job exemplifying the sweeter, less abrasive side of Puers. This Bing Dao is at an excellent stage to be savoured, staying young in flavour, but with a phase of maturity already behind it. We recommend brewing this when you have adequate time and attention to enjoy this tea to its fullest.
