Dian Hong Song Zhen "AA" (Pine Needles), 2024.
Tea for Instagram! Impossibly beautiful needle-like leaves with velvety golden tips that ring out on porcelain. Delicate peach aroma and grey bread. After warming up - even more bread, honey and butter. Serenity.
The infusion is perky red and sweetish, slightly oily. It drinks smoothly, without harshness or bitterness, but the body is felt, not empty.
Noble and reserved. A wonderful tea for those who do not strive for heavy artillery and just want it to be pleasant and tasty.
Growing region: Yunnan Province, Lincang County, Fengqing County, China.
To reveal the depth of this incredibly beautiful tea, it is best to use a clay teapot or a thick-walled ceramic gaiwan for brewing. Before pouring, warm the vessel with boiling water and use water at 90 degrees. You can start with 40 seconds of extraction and increase the time by half a minute with each new pour.
