We’ve unexpectedly got a good chance to purchase pure ancient tree tea from Nannuo mountain this year.

Rich, full body, sweet aftertaste, stable for many strong infusions.

Harvest Area : Bama village, Nannuo mountain, Menghai, Xishuanbanna
Company description not available.
Tasty tea, floral and a bit of fruity notes. Didn’t take great notes on this one or anything, but it didn’t stand out to me particularly. Good body without a ton of bitterness. Smaller material than some of the other Chawang shengs I’ve tried from this year maybe.
Brewing this up tonight. I remember sampling a bit when it first came in to see where to store it.
I pulled 10 grams out to brew with. Cake is looser now that it has had time to settle a bit. I tossed the leaf in a warmed brewer and it gave an almost sweet alfalfa note. I rinsed it and got brewing.
First infusion quick steep, comes across sweet and aromatic. Light on the palate as it is still opening up. Let it sit about 30 minutes after this.
Second infusion, a bit more punch to it . Some astringency, maybe a hint of tart and metallic. Let it cool slightly and the sweetness comes back. An almost mint note to it.
Third infusion, still quick steeps. A little more bite/bitter in there. Sweetness still on the last note on the tongue. Gets thicker and has the lingering in the throat a bit. Seems to be good material. Not sure about pricing since it has climbed since I purchased it.
Flavors: Sweet
I haven’t had any of CWS’s 2016 line and am wondering what I missed out on… I hear the Hekai and manmai gushu are very good.
I have the Hekai but untried as of yet.
woul dlike to hear your opinion on the 2016 Hekai – I really liked the 2015 Hekai
@Alexander, I may have to delve sometime this week.
