2004 Mingxiang Youle Cha Bing Raw

Pu-erh Tea by Chawangshop

Youle is one of Six Famous Tea Mountains in Xishuanbanna. It´s composed early spring traditional sun-dried material from arbor tea trees in Youle mountain. The compression is medium to tight. This tea is stored in Kunming all the time. Aromatic and fruity golden yellow infusions, quite tasty! The liquor is mild and interesting when you first taste it. Compare with other Jinuoshan cakes, this tea has much less pungent flavor.

Manufacturer : Mingxiang Tea Company

It’s definetely strange example of Youle. I’m not sure how to rate this pu because it’s almost bland. It’s not awful but very weak and strange, especially for it’s age. Sweet and mild taste reminds me Bada, but in a more “feminine” way.

A very enjoyable tea – typical meadow-flowery You Le. Not as fine as Jinuoshan production, but that is two times as expensive.

This is a very nice tea for usual drinking, nicely aging, not having any obvious flaws, definitely enjoyable.
