A personal favorite aged 14 years (dry storage) from the lush mountains of Yiwu. This is the 特极品 grade (special grade) denoting superior quality. Huge aging potential.

• Flavor notes: very sweet and grassy (sweetness attributed to the large leaves and stems from Yiwu mountain), pleasant green/vegetal quality, a fleeting light bitterness

• Hue: reminiscent of a 12yr Calvados, under the light appears a dark tangerine

• Mouthfeel: surprising level of smoothness for a newer tea, also surprisingly little to no astringency, velvety richness that comfortably coats the inside of the mouth

• Endurance: an afternoon, often will lose count

• Qi: medium, will mellow with age

• Hui Gan/lingering aftertaste: sweet and lightly cooling

• Misc: this batch has aged very speedily and well without entering a "wet HK warehouse"... one to hold onto, suspect it will be superstellar in another ten years
