Product code: 20yOB-2 Shipping and Payment
Aged and it must be said very rare Dong Fang Mei Ren, or the famous Oriental beauty. The tea comes from the Pinglin region, from the Chin Shin Dapan cultivar. It was hand-picked in 2003.
The appearance of the leaf is best specified by photos, the aroma is more complicated. The aroma is delicate, light, combining fruity sweetness with noble wood.
In the taste there is still a well-known oriental beauty, i.e. sweet citrus, light spiciness, the taste is well complemented with the taste of aged teas, i.e. with a combination of noble wood, dried herbs.
This tea is only 20 years old, it is very noticeable in the taste.
Aged teas are like a debate with an old friend. Don't expect an explosion of flavours and aromas, but rather a calming, stopping, perception. One has to drink to aged teas, I expect these teas are just for the more experienced drinker.

Preparation per 100ml - 6-7g, 90-95°C, 40s-1min., lasts 6 or more infusions, depending on your method of preparation.
For aged teas I recommend a quick rinse, then let the tea rest for a while, smell it and then proceed to the first infusion.
