Shu Puer «Huang Yin Shu Bing» from CNNP (China National Natural Products Import and Export Company), 2001 harvest. Taiwanese storage.
343-grams teacake of medium density easily separates into twisted dark brown leaves, reddish buds and thin cuttings. The aroma is restrained, woody with a nutty hint. The infusion is transparent, with a dark reddish-chestnut shade.
The bouquet of the ready-made tea is mature, multifaceted, woody-and-nutty, with biscuit, fruity, chocolate and balsamic notes. The aroma is rich, warm and complex. The taste is mellow and dense, sweetish, with a fruity acidity, refined chocolate bitterness and a lingering aftertaste.
Steep the tea in a hot water (90-95°C) in a gaiwan or in a teapot made of porous clay. The proportion is 5-6 g per 100 ml. The time of the first steeping is 5-7 seconds. After that do short steeps (just for 1-2 seconds) increasing steeping time for each subsequent step, if necessary. You can steep the tea up to 12 times.
«Huang Yin Shu Bing» is a superb aged tea with a multifaceted, mild flavour and deep meditative effect.
