This year’s Impression cake is a blend of tea leaves from Spring and Autumn, originating from Mengku, Bang Dong, and Jing Gu tea gardens.
The tea has been grown naturally and processed in the traditional method. We blended various teas together to achieve a powerful blend that has strong mouth feeling, cha qi and a balanced sweet, bitter and astringent profile.
In 2012 I created the first impression blend to be an alternative to a Xiaguan or Da Yi 7542, but it has far surpassed those mass market teas in both quality and value! I also feel strongly that this tea being very strong in aroma, mouthfeel, bitter/astringent, infusability and Cha Qi, makes it a good choice for long-term aging!
Stone-pressed in the traditional manner.

Yunnan SourcingThis…. This is interesting. There are some woody notes in there somewhere. It’s also astingentcy but in a weird way. Kinda like the astringency you find from some herbs where it sits closer to the front of your tongue. Not so pleasant… But the first few sips were uh… paper? Herbaceous…. I don’t know how to explain this…
Third steeping now it was a bit sweeter. But there are still those other weird notes
I brewed this tea Gong Fu as I do for most teas.
The steamed leaves had a mild sickly sweet smell to them typical of a young sheng which became slightly tannic when washed. On the first steep, the tea’s flavor was very smooth and mild with hints of cotton, linen, confectioners sugar, and light tannins.
Overall, it wasn’t a good or bad tea, it was just tea. I can say it was decently pleasant to drink and was worth its low price tag. I do fear that it may have been oxidized by accident by me however, so that is worth noting.
Flavors: Linens, Sugar, Tannic
