From Yunnan Sourcing

Han Gu Di village is one of the more remote villages in the Jinggu area, taking nearly 1.5 hours from Jinggu town to arrive there. Although there is a road that goes there, it’s nearly impassible during the rainy season. Han Gu Di village lies at an altitude of 1700 meters and is home to tea trees ranging in age from 80 years up to 500 years. Our Han Gu Di tea cake is made from tea leaves harvested 150-350 year old tea trees.

Our Spring 2021 Han Gu Di harvested tea is very strong tea, and from some of the oldest trees in our offering! The taste is bitter, sweet and savory. There is a creamy edge to the tea when it first enters the mouth. There is a strong mouth-watering feeling after drinking a few cups and the taste/feeling lingers in the mouth for 10 to 20 minutes after enjoying it. The Cha Qi is strong, but grounding. The brewed leaves are mostly dark olive in color, large (in scale), thick and stout stemmed.

Stone-pressed in the traditional manner.

A nice sheng that is bitter, sweet and savoury, but which doesn’t really stand out within the YS catalogue to me. The body is medium to light and there isn’t all that much complexity at the moment. I find that the cha qi is mild and very pleasant in the way it brings me to the present.

Dry leaves still smell quite strong of apricots and fruit orchard. Later the aroma reminds me of stewed vegetables, chard, linden, and asparagus. It has a somewhat cooling character.

The tea has very vivid taste with a floral sweetness to it and a persistent, but never aggressive bitterness. Specific notes include bay leaves and coriander seeds. The aftertaste is likewise floral and crisp.
