Chen Xiang Gong Ting 2005

A fine example of aged Gong Ting Puerh from Menghai County, ideal moderately humid storage. Minimum of twigs and cut leaves, maximum of buds. Sweetish, vintage, slightly earthy taste profile. Balanced, noble, smooth and deep taste.

Thanks to proper storage, the so-called Chen Xiang - "Aroma of Aging" - appeared in the tea. Chen Xiang can be defined as special notes in taste and aroma that appear in tea as a result of its (proper and rather long) storage.

Aroma: woody-nutty, sweetish, camphor.

Taste: balanced, noble and clean. Woody-sweetish, nutty, with a pleasant chocolate bitterness. Hints of sweet beetroot.

Effect: fills with energy, concentrates attention.

Production: 2005, Menghai County, Yunnan Province, China.
