Cultivar: Tsui Yu

Harvested by hand: March 28th, 2024

Origin: Pinglin, Wenshan region.

Process: Lightly oxidized Baozhong, twisted, no stems, well dried.

1. View

The dry leaves are large, dark green. The open leaves are quite dark green also. They show some oxidation signs on the edges. The brew has a good transparency and a yellow color. 

2. Scents

The dry scents have some light scents of wood and forest with its various green plants. The brew has high notes of flowers that mingle with deep subtropical forest fragrances. It's intense and refined. The open leaves have dark grassy smell that is typical of Tsui Yu. 

3. Taste

The taste is smooth. The aftertaste is well balanced. A beautiful Baozhong!

Conclusion: This type of Baozhong is, for me, the most typical. It echoes the subtropical scents of the Wenshan hills in spring.
