From Yunnan Sourcing

A new recipe for 2013! We used first flush wild and ancient arbor material from 4 different tea mountains in Simao to craft this lovely tea cake. “Feng Chun” basically means “Meeting Spring” which is appropriate because the overall character of this tea is a fresh, lively, floral and smooth!

The tea brews up a highly aromatic experience. Mouth-feel is lively and hui gan is fast and protracted. Cha Qi is quite obvious but manages not over-power the drink (like Bu Lang teas). Plenty of future aging potential in this potent blend of premium pu-erh teas!

400 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo tong)

free sample, 6g gaiwan, 2x rinse. still has youth and apricot aromas, grape seed astringency on long steeps that I pushed a little, relatively gentle (but not weak). soft and pillowy is description. honestly was surprised by how much I enjoyed this and how fast I drank it. mouthfeel is really soft and full bodied, smooth in throat (no catch). some returning sweetness. calming body feels. soothing. this may pass the ‘mom test’. dry white wine. gentle huigan and some sinus opening. Not sure how this will age, its definitely taking its time, but its a pleasure to drink.

I got a free sample of this blended sheng recently. It tastes a bit like huang pian, even though it isn’t, since it is quite sour overall.

There are aromas of caramel, marsh, cake, hay, compost and rapini. The liquor has a light to medium body. Even at 9 years of age it still tastes quite green and young. However, it is more of a warming profile than what you tend to get with fresh sheng.

Overarching flavours are sweet and sour. Specifically, I can taste warm, sour grass and cabbage in the first steep. These are followed by flavours of hay, roasted lemons and mineral, nutty ones. The aftertaste has a floral sourness a bit like a Taiwanese high mountain oolong. It has good legs and a herbaceous character with notes of saline, honey and spinach.

Another blend from YS. I liked this one quite a lot. It’s quite easy to drink young, but still feels like it has the potential to age. Kind of that cereal sweetness, with some astringency but not too much. It’s thick, with a medium high kick factor, and has got a little huigan. Going to pick up a cake of this for sure.

Got one of these aging away. I bought it from the description. I will have to break it out soon.
