304 Tasting Notes

One of my favorites wish they made it into a cake larger than 150 grams. dark mysterious woody and subdued floral hints. I resteep about three times. I liked this so much I purchased a 750 gram tin of five and it is a go to when I want a smooth tea at the end of the day. 100 percent top pu-er! You must be a pu-er drinker not for the faint of heart! Re-steep adding about 15 seconds to your prior time I get about 4 out of it.

mrmopar, How many grams/oz. do you recommend? Rinse for how long? Thanks!

mrmopar

looseTman 10 grams with a 5 second wash. Let sit for about 20 minutes and brew 3 quick steeps in a Gaiwan for about 5 seconds each combined in a big cup for me at least.

Thanks for the detailed brewing parameters. How many oz. for 10g?

mrmopar

It’s about 3oz in the Gaiwan. I normally combine the three steeps together for a big cup.

purchased as a fairly new production tea. i think a few years aging will mellow this tea out some. i think it has too much of a licorice taste for me as of yet,but i am sure with aging that will go away to the smooth menghai taste that i am used to. btw the 2010 star of menghai entirely different.

a lemony tea with a good burst of energy. the leaves are very fine would suggest a french press or a very fine strainer.i used a tea ball on this but the leaves were so fine that it escaped from it.use a quick infusion time for this tea,
