 "Huang Shan Gu Shu" (lit. Remote Mountain Old Tree) is a mountain in Jinggu County of Simao where 100-300 year old tea trees are growing. Huang Shan tea trees are Assamica varietal growing wild without intervention. Tea is harvested only twice a year, not 4 times a year like in many places. This gives the tea more strength, body, aroma and cha qi!

The brewed tea is pungent, full-bodied and with layered bitterness and sweetness mingling together. It can be steeped many times without losing steam. This tea is certainly good for aging and will be noticeably more delicious and textured as time passes.

Solid value cake

"Rested it just under two weeks. Solid value. Very relaxing chi. Echoing other comments noting mushroom soup flavor. I also notice a very nice although short lasting sweetness upon hitting the lips. Like a scented candle or sugared honeydew melon popsicle. It’s a high quality note but it passes quickly. Not sure how to judge the astringency. My guess would be moderate."

Thick hoppy front-end with a mushroom sweetness.
