Tea Review: Planet Baiying Sheng Puerh Tea (Crimson Lotus)

Planet Baiying Sheng Puerh Tea
Crimson Lotus
Type: Puerh
Origin: China, Yunnan Province, Baiying Shan
Product Description:
"Planet Baiying" is in the "Fengqing System" of the "Lincang Galaxy"

This tea is very mellow with a relaxing energy. It has a heavy body with vegetal / beany notes. The big tree material was picked and processed in Spring of 2015, aged in Baiying Shan for a year, and then pressed in the Spring of 2016. 
Temperature: 208° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 1.5-2 minutes

The dry leaf aroma has notes of aged wood and pepper.

The aroma of the golden infusion has herbal and green vine notes as well as something that reminded me of piled leaves. The taste is herbal and woody with mild astringency.

I particularly enjoyed the first and third infusions where the huigan was most present, while the second infusion had a sharper aroma and bolder flavor. I'm looking forward to seeing how this develops over time.

This tea was purchased by me.
