This particular tea comes from Emei Township and is made from the Jin Xuan cultivar and pressed into 100g cakes. It is hand harvested at an altitude of around 300m in May 2024.
The tea is oxidised to 70-80% and in this form has a good chance of interesting maturation.
It offers a very aromatic amber infusion with a fruity honey aroma.
Unusually for an Oriental beauty, the flavour of this tea is full-bodied and distinctive with a balanced malty and mineral fruit flavour, a hint of fermented fruit, with a light presence of muscat 'bug-bitten' flavour. Not as floral in flavor as the leafy, unpressed forms of Oriental Beauty. The tea is indeed considerably stronger than is usual with Orintal Beauty, which I welcomed with pleasure. Probably the most powerful beauty I've tasted yet.
Brewing: 100ml, 4-5g, 95°C, 30-50s for the first infusion, second infusion within 30s, then extend to taste preference. Lasts more than 5 infusions.
