Red tea from wild tea trees from the mountainous region of Ulyanshan. The first spring training camp.
A special type of wild tea tree defines a unique aromatic and flavor palette. The tea is completely different from the classic Yunnan reds. It has the potential to change over time — it will gain softness and depth of taste.
Aroma: heady, fragrant, with hints of wild berries, flowers, and tropical fruits (passion fruit).
Taste: refined, bright, sweet, with fruit and berry sourness, "festive".
Effects: powerful, warming, intoxicating, meditative.
Collection: Spring 2022, Ulyanshan Mountains, Pu'er County, prov. Yunnan, China.
Traditional Preparation
Add 7-10 grams to a Gaiwan or Gongfu Teapot (150ml-200ml).
Use 212°F boiling water.
Briefly rinse the leaves. Decant and discard this infusion.
Infuse the first brew for 5 seconds.
Infuse 2nd and subsequent brews for 5-15 seconds.
Repeat several times until the flavor and aroma of the tea dissipates. As the brewing session ensues, increase infusion time to coax out the body and strength of the final infusions.
