This is a portioned tile of Dian Hong from early spring Yunnan material of 2023. Crafted by a Fujianese master, so don’t be surprised if you accidentally stumble upon notes of Jin Jun Mei or red oolong in your cup.
As for the flavor profile: you’ve got honey, caramel, apricot pit, dried plum, spicy, and fruity notes. No stems or veggies in this profile, and the technology behind it is pretty cool. In the aftertaste, you’ll experience fruity sweetness with a hint of bitterness.
It’s not afraid of boiling water or long exposures; in fact, it becomes even more aromatic and deep. It gently clears your head, warms your body, and gives you a sense of focus and comfort. These tiles are hand-pressed, so the weight of one portion may vary from 5.5 to 7.5 grams.
