From Bitterleaf Teas

Our largest and one of our favourite productions each year, this tea is as “Yiwu” as it gets, exemplifying the typical character of the region: a pleasant and unique fragrance that is accompanied by an underlying sweetness.

As with our 2020 Rat, drier weather has contributed to a denser tea than previous years. Even with this denser flavour and a little bit of extra bitterness, this tea is still quite approachable and very suitable for beginners,Read more

Gongfu!

Finished off my last dragonball yesterday afternoon!! I’m so thankful that I have a whole cake of this stashed away to enjoy many future sessions with because it is just such a delight! Early steeps leans so juicy and syrupy with notes of honey pomelo, lemon candy, and green melon before slowly getting more green and bitter, with the vegetal undertones building as the more bright fruity top notes wane. The ‘Year of The Rooster’ production of this Yiwu sheng is still probably my favourite, but this might be a close second!

I should revisit this one, I remember I wasn’t so impressed with it when I last had it :)

I got a couple of blind cakes from BLT this year, their yearly plantation Yi Wu being one of them. The tea is on the green side with a bit of a jade oolong profile.

The aroma is savoury with notes of fried greens and nettle. It has a astringent, light to medium bodied, liquor with floral bitterness and flavours of green vegetables and dry grass. Really, the tea is quite bitter and drying, reminiscent of unripe fruit.

The aftertaste, however, is long-lasting and fragrant with a nice tartness and a fruity sweetness that emerges after a while.
