From Mei Leaf

Our 2023 batch of Bamboo Sabre is creamy, rich and brothy with a zingy little punch of dragon fruit and bamboo to get the saliva flowing. It is a tingly tea with a potent energy.

We have some of our 2022 batch still available at a ludicrous price for this highest grade Zhu Ye Qing. It is a rich tea with more rounded edges than the fresh 2023 harvest – they are both great and are from the same producer so it is a fascinating way to taste the difference in vintages and a year of ageing.

These are the highest grade Zhu Ye Qing made from early pluckings of 50+ year-old heirloom cultivar tea bushes.

This one I will have to explore with multiple sessions. Though it is a green, to me it tastes, looks, and smells more like a yellow. The dry leaf is slightly glossy and olive green. These are the sharpest-looking tips I’ve seen yet. Some silver hairs. Mine appear a yellower color than the picture. Almost like a yellow tea.
The flavors for the infusions remained fairly consistent though the third infusion is a bit sweeter. Vegetal. Green beans. Slight whole milk. Bit of fresh asparagus and spinach. The mouthfeel is silky with an ever-so-slight hint of astringency. It’s good but not one I would buy again. I need to revisit this one a few more times before I give my final say.

I was going to open up something new this morning but I couldn’t get this one out of my head so I’m revisiting it. This may be somewhat weird to say, but maybe not for those who are in the pu er/dark tea community, I want to age this tea and see if it changes anything. Right now I am getting a lot of overcooked peas with a bit of astringency; which I am finding myself somewhat insatiated by. Gong fu brewing at 180F.
