Stone fruit, wildflower and leather in the dry nose yielding to camphor and delicate aromatics in this rustic Mengsong region brick.
These leaf-wrapped mini-bricks have been tucked away in our storage since time of production and this feels like the perfect time to share them. Receding tannins reveal apricot and mature wildflower aroma through multiple infusions. Healthy fermentation discernible in hints of golden mushroom. Round in the mouth and body. Soft, pervasive qi expression. Viscosity provides prominent throat-feel and pleasant huigan.
Responsive to different brewing styles ... explore the ascending aromatics in a gaiwan or transfer to a clay teapot to concentrate the liquor and reveal wood-like rootedness and aged character in the cup. A wonderful tea for honing your brewing skill.
No product can be the equal of its source. The source is infinite, the product finite.
