[Spring 2020 harvest]
I love the relaxing energy and refined aromatics of this tea. At first it smells as a mix of coffee, peat, fireplace, and guava. Then, during the session, we get pretty unique aroma that blends notes of milk, parsley root, paper, bread, and sweet cherries.
Initially, the taste is nutty and tart with fruity undertones and an aromatic incense in the finish. It is well-balanced and the yanyun is very smooth. I also found the mouthfeel to be very satisfying. The liquor is plump, foamy and light (in terms of its weight not body).
Later steeps have a touch of woody bitterness, mossy flavour, and a nicely cooling, mineral finish. It transforms into a buttery aftertaste with dominant notes of wood and cherries.
