Thank you for your visit and am glad you are enjoying it. My friend's blog is very interesting also, have you take a tour yet?
Yes, quite a impressive tea. This is one of the oldest harvesting tea tree. They only can harvest every other year, which make it one of the most expensive young bing.
Taste and aroma have almost all the qualities of a fine young puerh, very alluring. Plus the full, round mouth feel of a aged one. No plum or talc yet, but is full of potential. Good consistent Cha Chi, nothing overpowering or intruding, not smoky or astringency but rather mellow. Sweet and clean after-taste. Clear evolution of steeping, layers and Layers of characters from each infusion. We only when up to 10 brews +- and should carry-on for 10 more or so.
So you are studying Chinese medicine. Very interesting subject indeed. I was told by a Chinese med. doctor that 50 plus old puerh if stored correctly, can be included as a neutral link for herbal formula?
The Neutral Link is a group of herbs / animal parts / insects that harmonize the formula to the patient, not the medicine itself.
Patient can intake the formula with greater effects? The weaker the patient, the better quality of this NL should be. Like "Chow" (the really old ginseng from Northern China / Korea... the one that looks like a baby) as I was told. please no laughing !?
