Origin: The 2015 XiaGuan "Jin Si Tie Bing," translating to "Golden Ribbon Iron Cake," is part of the esteemed "JinSi" series which commenced in 2004. This series is distinguished by a golden ribbon embedded in the tea cake as a hallmark. The tea was crafted upon the request of Guangzhou XinYe Tea Company, hence the "XY特制" (Specially made for XinYe tea company) mark on the product.

This tea also falls under the "SongHeYanNian" series, denoted by "松鹤延年," meaning "Both Pine tree and Crane have a metaphor of Long life," with the logo prominently displayed on the wrapper.

Description: The "Jin Si Tie Bing" is tightly compressed into an iron-like disc, giving it the name "TieBing" (Iron Cake).

Tasting Notes:

  • Appearance: The cake is tightly compressed with an embedded golden ribbon, symbolizing its premium status.
  • Aroma: Features a light smoky fragrance, which is milder compared to XiaGuan's JiaTuo (甲沱) or TeTuo (特沱).
  • Flavor Profile:
    • Smoke: Light, not overwhelming.
    • Fragrance: Moderately fragrant, striking a balance between being neither too strong nor too subtle.
    • Tea Liquor: Sweet with a refreshing flavor.
    • Mouthfeel: Smooth and well-balanced, providing an enjoyable drinking experience.
    • Bitterness and Astringency: Mild, making it accessible to those who prefer lighter sheng cha without intense bitterness or astringency.
    • Aftertaste: Leaves a clean and pleasant aftertaste with a subtle lingering sweetness.

Storage:

  • Location: Stored naturally in Guangzhou, ensuring ideal aging conditions that enhance the tea's flavor profile over time.
  • Effect on Tea: The natural storage in Guangzhou promotes a smooth aging process, allowing the tea to develop deeper and more nuanced flavors.

Background: The "JinSi" series, initiated in 2004, is a prestigious line of tea marked by its distinctive golden ribbon. The collaboration with Guangzhou XinYe Tea Company highlights the custom-made nature of this tea. The "SongHeYanNian" series, known for its symbolism of longevity, further adds to the tea's distinguished reputation.
