A tasting notes come later. It is a really interesting thing about this blend that Lao Banzhang character comes up with early brews and Yiwu with later ones, so a single tea session can turn into multi mountain ride. Even Jiangmai notes are filling up the palette of flavours.

As one of my friend correctly brought up a topic of tea relaxation on mind so that the body, he says he can’t drink old tea before speaking up on public events and meetings and my comment is, yes, the old tea makes the mind relaxed in an extraordinary way so that one has no need to speak after all. Just using other ‘paranormal’ senses. He started this chat that younger sheng’s helps him to talk better, to form better ideas and putting them into words.

this is a blended pu-erh cake of Liming factory  Baojiang brand. There were used three major tea mountains tea leaves. They come from Yiwu, Lao Banzhang and Jiangmai. Tea leaves used were all from arbour ancient (gushu) tea trees.  The mentioned three mountains each gives different characteristics to the final blend. Yiwu tea leaves give sugary, soft, delicate, sweet-smelling tea soup, Lao Banzhang adds its strong, potent qi and Jiangmai covers it with sweet fragrance
