This young tea is light on its feet. Mineral and floral flavors spearhead the first steep and then relax into a melon-like sweetness – like the hunter after a long day’s chase.
This spring sheng puer was made by Mr. Liu Zhao Quan in April 2019 from the Yunnan Big Leaf cultivar. The tea leaves were grown in a village called Bang Wai near Fudong Town, Lan Cang County, Xishuangbanna. The local population is primarily the La Hu people. “La” means tiger and “Hu” means hunter. As the name implies, they were known for being skilled hunters in the past.
Company description not available.
Mild, slightly sweet melon, honey and a hint of a vegetable broth taste on the first infusion. A little bit of mineral flavor. Smooth, but somewhat bland. Which is good if you don’t want an earthy puer.
I’m not noting a large difference on the second infusion. Still nice and mild.
On third infusion with a longer steep it seems to be getting sweeter with an almost cake/bread taste.
I get a good theanine vibe/buzz on this, which is why I enjoy sheng puer teas. That definitely boosts the rating for me.
Enjoyable, but the price might be a little high for this one. Try to get it on a sale.
Reviewed 9/18/2020. I don’t do anything special to store my puers – just keep them in the original bag, sealed.
