From Tea Encounter

Man Lin lies in the tea mountain region of Man Zhuan. It’s located in the six famous tea mountains to the east of Yiwu tea region, with an area of about 300km² and an altitude of 1100m. The teas from this region are famous for being thick, smooth, having a strong fragrance, a long lasting sweet aftertaste and no bitterness.

This is a Spring tea made from ancient tea trees (Gushu). We find this tea sweet, syrupy, very creamy with flower scents and very mild astringency. This tea is quite enjoyable as it is but it will benefit from further ageing.

*Some years have passed since this cake was pressed and the wrapper shows some storage signs. Please be aware of that before ordering.

This is an uncomplicated tea with an invigorating and mind numbing cha qi. It would appeal to anyone who likes floral pu-erh I think. Between the two sessions I’ve had with the tea, I liked the one in which I brewed it more aggressively. The tea benefitted from a more pungent profile and a resulting long-lasting floral bitterness that ensued.

In the dry leaf aroma, there are notes of caramel, cinnamon, flowers, and cake. After the rinse, it is a much more foresty affair with hints of moss, but also grapes and coffee.

The tea has a medium body, a grating texture that’s a bit like that of carbonated water and a numbing mouthfeel. It tastes quite sweet and floral throughout the session. Early on, it is also quite citrusy with distinct umami notes like mussels and lichen. Other flavours include kale, pear, sweet grass, and lavender.
