Truly great experience of a puerh world. The leaves are neatly packed and rather loosely pressed, so there’s not much broken parts and dust from the breaking process. A lot of thick silver-hair buds.
The smell from the pre-warmed tea is bright and floral, but the first taste is surprisingly multilayered and develops with further infusions: I sensed fairly butter but not sharp base first, followed with coating tarty sweetness and strong, salivating huigan afterwards. The honey-like (though with a spicy bite) sweetness keep rolling in the mouth and throat for a long time. I expected quite a punch of Cha Qi but it’s like a gentle wave, very centering and warming from the middle of chest.
Definitely a worthy choice to taste the Ban Zhang terroir sheng pu.
