Da Yu Lin "AAA" (Great Yu Pass)
Da Yu Lin or "Great Yu Pass" is one of the gardens of the Li Shan tea region in Taichung County, Nantou Prefecture, with plantations at an altitude of 2,200 - 2,650 meters above sea level. It is here that tea growers from Fujian created a new variety of tea bush known as Qing Xing. This is perhaps the best lightly fermented oolong in the world, which may soon become history due to global warming. The production of this tea is limited by the terroir, so the finished product is about 1,000 kg per year.
Medium-sized spherically twisted leaf with a tiny stalk. All shades of green with a purple-emerald tint can be found in dry tea. When warmed up with breath, the aroma of frosty freshness of the peak of "Pear Mountain" with floral and berry sweetness and a light creamy note. The water is about 90 ° and it would be nice to have, for a product of this quality, a teapot made of porous clay made by Taiwanese oolongs. The first infusion is on your conscience, you can either hold it longer and drink it, or less, and pour it out. In a warmed teapot, freshness and sourness displace sweetness, and after the first infusion, shades of biscuit and sorrel are added to the aroma. The infusion is light green, clean and oily. The taste is complex, subtle, delicate and refined. Sweetness of lilac, kiwi, melon, mango, cherry, bamboo, saffron, a little bit of hops. Sour shades of taste are expressed by bergamot, basil, green apple, a little bit of black currant. There is a slight mineral saltiness of metal. The aftertaste is persistent, sweet and sour with an unimaginable combination of berries, fruits and fresh mountain air. Very persistent tea in steeping, also, is perfect for tea pairs. In the tea bottom we find an elastic, fleshy, green leaf. Damage and oxidation border are not detected.
Tea is not for every day, but for an occasion or a reason. Cha Qi covers you with a wave of euphoria and grace, greatly changing your perception. The body is calm and relaxed, and the mind is clean and clear. The state of complete balance can be maintained until the end of the day, and the aftertaste in the throat sometimes comes an hour after drinking tea.
