“I’ve kept coming back to this one, and can’t decide if I want more…..which is insane. Spring and fall are my spending months. Oh well. It works western, but it’s best gong fu. I tried doing it...” Read full tasting note
The elements that create Da Yu Ling are as near-mythical as the tea itself—unreal blue skies, clear vistas and amazing serenity at gardens almost a mile and a half above sea level. Mr. Huang is the smallholder of an erstwhile apple orchard turned tea garden, one of the de facto producers of Da Yu Ling. At these heights, slowed metabolism in the plant give way to lower yields with more concentrated flavor in each flush. This harvest year, the gardens were graced with the unusual prevalence of tea jassids, instilling additional honeyed and apricot notes over the innate citrus and buttery notes of Qing Xin. Notes of nectarine, jasmine, and herbed compound butter.
