After finding the incredible, mind-blowing Golden Leaf 1998 Xingyang, we have been working with the growers to find another Xingyang with the same sparkling quality, but with a heavier body and a lower price point for more regular drinking. This is our solution. The first steepings are crisp and vegetal with notes of honey. Later the tea starts to develop in the same way the 1998 Xingyang does, with a rich mustiness, and a sparkling texture that feels almost carbonated. Late in steeping, an intriguing malty quality comes through. The tea has something woody like the smell of a room covered in tatami mats from fresh-cut bamboo.
