Yuan Yuan Tang: Qiannian Gushu Yiwu Wangong

ExamplePicture

Another Yuan Yuan Tang tea! The last time I drank my first YYT tea and it was great.
Let’s see how this first impression continues with this tea. Slightly younger sheng from 2014.

Today I am feeling like using short notes within the following list:

  • Sweet and clean tea for the first steepings
  • Quite dormant within the first one or two steepings
  • Slight smokiness
  • Definitely some similarities to the previous YYT tea
  • Especially in this woody and perfume like scent - I like!
  • Grassy notes
  • Slight pepper notes
  • Very nice but still a little too weak for my taste
  • Cherries
  • Bitterness blends in well with the sweetness

In summary a very nice tea! But also nothing that blows me away. The sample cost me 19€ for 25g. Which is definitely a fair deal. But there are even better teas out there for the same price.
