2005 Ming-Yuan Hao Yeh-Sheng Gu Shu Cha Wang, Uncooked

Description

The 2005 cake from Ming-Yuan Hao bears a resemblance to the XZH Lao Ban Zhan. Its rugged, untamed appearance comes from the use of hand-harvested mao cha, which consists of one bud with two to three young leaves, rolled into long strips. The liquor displays a well-developed honey-brown hue, signaling its maturity. The flavor is clean and refined, with delicate floral notes, a warm, mellow sweetness, and a subtle hint of spicy wood that adds depth to the tasting experience. Seeing the unfurled bud-and-leaves, revealing their full shape and structure is truly delightful. The sight adds a visual elegance to the tasting experience, enhancing the appreciation of the tea’s craftsmanship!
