Zao Chun Mao Feng "AAA", Yunnan, spring 2025

"Early Spring", a bud and two leaves from Yunnan Province.

Aroma and taste: Sausages! Clearly, slightly smoked. The second wave is a fresh aroma, salty with a hint of roasted nuts. The taste has a delicate texture and the same smokedness, but the bitterness of pumpkin seeds and the sweetness of strawberries are added. With infusions, there is more pea. The aftertaste settles on the tongue as a rough pollen with a light-light sweetness of gooseberries.

When to drink: Everyday green will support and refresh on a warm day.

Pros and cons: Simple and fairly stable tea. But it is capricious in brewing - you need to guess the temperature and drain quickly. We recommend water at 70 degrees or even slightly lower. The dense roughness of Yunnan raw materials resembles young shengs. On the 7th steeping it loses depth, but the sweetness remains, especially in the aftertaste. And more than 10 steepings remain.
