2004 Yangpinhao Yibang Raw 357g
Yangpinhao has a sweet, soft, floral profile. The tea is already fairly smooth and easy to drink, but retains some of its youthful character and is on the edge of entering a phase of being a more mature phase. There is some humidity that still shows up in early steeps, as well as a minimal amount of sharpness early on. The material for this production is from Yibang, near Yiwu.
Yibang material. Stored in natural storage conditions in South China. Original Yangpinhao production. This same tea is often mislabeled as being from the 1990’s or even 1980’s in egregious cases, however the production is from 2004.
