This third and final production of 2008 is a cooperation between Hai Lang and another tea seller. 3000 kilos of Mao Cha all from just 2 villages in Bu Lang mountain area of Banna was pressed into these cakes.

Hai Lang Hao (Yunnan Sourcing)Opening up the last of my sample, I was surprised to be met with a bit of a spicy, woodsy “aged” aroma in the dry leaf, more akin to older sheng than the fresh stuff. Somehow my attitude towards this tea has change. Perhaps I’ve gotten better at brewing it, or my palate is shifting. Regardless, I could smell mint pouring off the freshly wet leaves. The sourness I remarked on before was absent and this tea gave a great array earthy wood, mushroom, tannin, and leaf tones. Sure, there’s some cooked black-tea-esque character too it, but I don’t find it shallow, hollow, or empty.
After the second steeping this tea releases a subtle smokiness with a somewhat dry feel to it. Not really bitter or astringent but a little sour in after taste. I do like the smell from the wet leaves though. And it seems to be quite energising too. After even more steepings the smokiness disappears and opens up to some more floral notes. Doesn’t get very smooth yet.
Flavors: Camphor, Mineral, Sour, Wood
