From Yunnan Sourcing

This is a small “Farmer Yi Wu” pressing from Spring 2002 harvested tea. Yi Wu mountain area is in the north of Mengla county in the NW part of Xishuangbanna and is known for producing some of the finest and most balanced pu-erh teas!

This pressing has been aged in Jinghong and also in Kunming. The majority of the time it was aged in Jinghong which is quite hot and humid!

The itself is full-bodied with a strong complex mouth-feel and a smoky character that is countered with a fruity punch and sweet after-taste. This tea must have been quite a beast when it was young, and even now it’s got tons of complexity and uniqueness!

5g in 100ml gaiwan

Wet leaf smells smoky and a subtle fruity sweetness like juicy pear.

1st infusion: (100˚C, 0:15)
Liquor tastes gently smoky, in a very pleasing way. Slight fruitiness beneath the tobacco – a bit of apricot-like tang, and a bit of juicy sweetness like fig.
Rating: 90

2nd infusion: (100˚C, 0:15)
Smokiness is even milder than before, even more pleasant when infused into the liquor. Slight astringency and bitterness mingled with floral sweetness and the smokiness is really quite lovely.
Rating: 88

3rd Infusion (100˚C, 0:15)
Despite the short brewing time, this infusion is pretty astringent. However, I’m still enjoying the tobacco note and noticing a nice umami flavour like mushrooms.
