From Moychay

Dark tea «Er Ji» («Second Grade») from Luan (Anhui province) harvest 2020.

In appearance: medium-sized, dark brown flagella of tea leaves, their fragments and cuttings. The aroma is restrained, woody with a fruity hint. The liquor is transparent, with a chestnut shade.

The bouquet of the brewed tea is vivid, woody-herbaceous, with hints of baked fruits. The aroma is deep and warm, woody-and-fruity. The taste is rich and strong, sweetish, a bit tart, with a juicy bitterness, fruity sourness and refreshing finish.

First impression: Dry leaves smell rich with cocoa and roast. Wet leaf aroma, sour citrus cocoa, herbal, rubber, grains. Taste: Punchy, Aggressive, Light bitterness, a little sourness. That cocoa & rubber really carry over to the taste.

Further thoughts: I’m not familiar with young liuan. I thought it would have to have some power if it was to age for 20+years. Turns out that that is the case. The dark notes are delightful and will likely become the predominate flavor. I can only assume the sourness and rubber tastes will settle down at some point.

Good texture. A little astringency. Brews fast and strong. Cooling sensation in my throat. Pressure felt at my temples. Not great on my empty stomach. Overall I enjoy it. I only bought a 50g sample, but may pick up an additional one and see how it ages in my home storage.
