  • Appearance: Tight and neat tea threads, reflecting high craftsmanship and quality control.

Taste Profile:

  • Flavor:
    • Sweetness: Noticeable sweetness that balances well with other flavor notes.

    • Huigan (Returning Sweetness): Prominent, providing a refreshing aftertaste that enhances the overall drinking experience.
    • Mellowness: Thick and mellow taste, offering a rich mouthfeel.
    • Strength: The tea's flavor comes through strongly but develops gradually, ensuring a full-bodied and robust tea experience.

Aging and Preservation:

  • Iron Cake ("T" Version): This version is pressed very hard, which slows the aging process and helps preserve the original fragrance of the tea. It is known for developing complex flavors over a longer period.
  • FT Version: Offers a softer flavor profile compared to the general version, making it more accessible to a wider range of tea drinkers.

Historical Background:

  • The "8653" series was originally produced in 1985 to fulfill an order from a Japanese buyer. When the order was canceled, the tea was sold domestically.
  • The blend recipe was formalized in 1986, and the tea factory, XiaGuan, is noted as factory No. 3 within the CNNP group.
  • Variations of the "8653" include the general 8653, the T8653 (iron cake), the FT8653 (ordered by Fei Tai tea company), and the FTT8653 (an iron cake variant also ordered by Fei Tai).

Recommendation: The 2005 XiaGuan "FT8653" Iron Cake is well-suited for both seasoned puerh enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Its balanced flavor profile, combined with its excellent aging potential, makes it a versatile choice for those looking to expand their puerh tea collection or for daily enjoyment.
