“Like another 2020 YS cake I got recently – He Tao Di – Jiu Tai Po also has a character that could be described as sitting somewhere between Jinggu and Yi Wu. However, there really isn’t anything...” Read full tasting note
Spring harvest tea leaves from 200-300 year old tea trees growing in Jiu Tai Po village in Jinggu county of Simao. Jiu Tai Po or “9 Mesa Village” is a small village with about 1200 inhabitants. Many are involved in tea production, the surrounding hills are covered forest and tea growing, often among larger trees. The elevation is an ideal 1500 meters.
Our Jiu Tai Po village tea cake is a sweet, thick, and pungent tea. It’s got grain-like taste, bitterness and floral notes much like a good IPA! The cha qi is noticeable but not overpowering. Can be infused 10+ times without losing power.
Stone-pressed in the traditional manner.
