Description:
This 2025 Xiaguan "Bing Dao Ling Yun" Puerh Raw Tea, also known as Sheng Cha, is a remarkable tea experience. Its name, "Bing Dao Ling Yun," evokes the essence of nature, translating to "Bing Dao Spirit." The tea lives up to its name, offering a taste that is both profound and pure.
Crafted from the finest maocha sourced from the five renowned villages of Bingdao (DiJie, NanPo, BingDaoLaoZhai, BaWai, and NuoWu), this tea embodies the spirit of its high-altitude origins. From the peak of the clouds ("Yun Wu Zhi Dian"), this tea reveals an amber-gold liquor with a distinct rock sugar sweetness ("Bing Tang Tian Yun"). The aroma is a delightful bouquet of rich, high-pitched floral notes with a sweet undertone. On the palate, it's sweet, mellow, and smooth, with the characteristic rock sugar sweetness being very pronounced.
The cake itself is round and well-pressed, with an ideal moderate tightness. The tea threads are clearly defined and display a dark green color. This tea, originating from the "Emerald Pearl" of Mengku Da Xue Shan, captures the serene and natural essence of the high mountains, where "cloud mist clothes the tea, sweet springs cleanse the dust, and snow water condenses its fragrance."
The "Bing Dao Ling Yun" cake is meticulously blended using Xiaguan's traditional blending techniques and expertly crafted with their classic pressing and stone-grinding processes. This results in a cake with moderate tightness that is easy to pry apart, ensuring a convenient and enjoyable tea preparation. Each sip is truly a taste of nature's essence, where a single leaf can intoxicate the world.
