Temperature: 208° FThis 2009 Tianjian heicha has been our go-to post meal tea ever since it arrived. It has a gentle and warming smoky flavour that doesn’t overdo it. Having undergone pine-smoking during as a result of processing it also has some very pleasant pine and spice notes.The soup is smooth and enjoyable, coating the mouth and leaving a cooling sensation in the throat after it’s gone.
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 3 minutes
The dry leaves have a spicy aroma with notes of moss and antique wood.
The liquor is copper-orange with a spicy, mossy, and almost minty aroma. The taste is savory and broth-like with moss, mushroom, and wood notes.
This reminded me of a particularly flavorful vegetarian broth. The savory mushroom-like notes became lighter by the second infusion and moved to the front again by the third.
This tea was received as a gift from a third party.
