The 2006 CNNP Puerh "Hong Yin Yuan Cha" (Red Mark Round Tea) Cake is a 357g Sheng Cha (raw Puerh tea) crafted from select leaves of old arbor trees in the Yi Wu tea mountains. This tea follows a recipe inspired by the original "Da Hong Yin" (Big Red Mark) from the late 1950s, blending tradition with refined execution.
Aged for approximately 20 years, it features long, tight tea threads with an appealing appearance, showcasing its quality and maturity. The tea liquor is clear and bright, a testament to its careful processing.
The taste is resilient yet soft, imbued with a distinct Cha Qi (tea energy) that elevates the experience.
It offers minimal bitterness and astringency, presenting a sweet, smooth, and vibrant profile.
The aftertaste reveals delightful variations, with an impressive and charming Hui Gan (returning sweetness) that lingers gracefully.
Stored naturally in Guangzhou, this well-matured Puerh is highly recommended for those seeking to enhance their tea journey, offering a sophisticated and enjoyable drinking experience.
