Very nicely matured, beautiful tea from the first spring harvest of wild tea trees (gu shu) in the Yi Wu area. After pouring, the tea has a beautiful, lively, golden-yellow color, which changes to amber to golden-orange with increasing infusions. The taste is intense, long, full, beautifully ripe, sweet with a decent bitterness, which gradually leaves and is really only slight and adds to the complexity of the tea. The aroma is intense and you can smell dried herbs, fruits, raisins, a hint of tobacco and camphor. The aftertaste is intense, comes relatively quickly and is long lasting. The effect on the body is significant, strong, but relatively relaxing.
