From Yunnan Sourcing

Ye Zhu Tang Village (lit. Wild Pig Pool) is small village about 5 miles to the north of Jinggu town and about two miles west (and uphill) from the Jinggu river. Ye Zhu Tang village is at about 1750 meters and the tea trees grow along a steep hillside between 1800-1900 meters. The tea trees grow naturally and aged 60 to 120 years.
Ye Zhu Tang Springtea is strong tasting, with a thick honey colored tea soup and a pungent granary, fruit and floral taste and aroma. There is a balanced bittersweet/astringent mouth-feel. Cha Qi is invigorating and kind-spirited.
Stone-pressed in the traditional manner.
400 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo tong)
80 kilograms in total

For me it was insipid, I tried Yixing and Gaiwan. The color was yellow and a bit of green. I Liked more the 2015 “Bang Dong” Yunnan Sourcing . I simply don’t know how other guys here in steepster got orange color out of this tea… I did not get fruity hints like other young sheng out there, only vegetal, but in general insipid.

Flavors: Vegetal

Clean, creamy and sweet are the operating terms here. This one, in addition to the Huang Shan, reminds me of Mengku terroir, with its cool frosting-like bite and pungent floral profile. There is bitterness here, but it comes on only as the briefest of afterthoughts once the sweet creamyness peaks. The soup feels heavy and spicey , in fact its brewing orange, but maybe I’m just pushing it too hard… The leaves do look pretty dark though. This one might be a good example of a young sheng thats actually good in cold weather. There’s plenty of huigan and kuwei…. at 52 dollars, the cake seems like a really good value. If you’re building a collection, I’d advise you to sample it.

Flavors: Cloves, Cream, Floral
