2007 EoT Qi Sheng Gu Raw 357g
Pressed in 2013, a farmer in a village located on the Lincang/Simao border had been storing this maocha from ancient 400-500 year old trees since 2007. It has hints of what was once a slight smokey flavour. This has mellowed and transformed into a very pleasant camphor/plum character in the tea, with the beginnings of a nice aged flavour. It is thick in the mouth, with a very long aftertaste.

ChawangshopThis tea has made quite the turnaround since I first tried it a few months ago. I first received it and was incredibly disappointed by the pungent and quite off-putting medicinal aroma that emanated from the sample bag, such that I was terrified that the 2012 Qi Sheng Gu cake I had bought would turn into this after a couple years. Thankfully, after giving this a second chance and placing my sample of it into a little cup in the open air for a few days to mellow whatever was left of that medicinal character from being in the sample bag, I’m almost able to drink this with an unbiased palate. This tea is a nice and pleasant semi-aged sheng It’s now nicely brothy and a little bit dry and earthy with a bit of fruit and floral character.
I’m also not a fan of the medicinal notes (and aromas!). This was one of the few blind buys that resulted in disappointment. Glad it seems to be improving. The Baotang had similar issues, but has shown marked improvement – the medicinal notes morphed into complex wood and dried figs.
