A tea of real substance, with good depth of flavour, but whose quality comes through all the more in its other dimensions – its thick texture, strong, comfortable qi and its remarkable persistence, both on the palate and in the body.

Purchased in 2022, and last brewed 18 months ago, it shows all the refinement of back then yet all polyphenols (bitterness) have resolved in a warm cupboard leaving a rich and persistent flavour of apricot and the very beginnings of delicious tertiary notes. More importantly it’s got a flowing, milky quality, cools and cleanses the mouth, and is extremely comfortable. There’s a background hint of liquorice and spice, and I’d be unsurprised to see those elements coming through more over the next couple of years. I’d ideally have liked more of an aromatic profile, but I’ll trade spice and refinement for perfume on this occasion!

Really great tea

Exactly what you’d expect : not the longest patience, but extremely clean, typical of that era’s shu Pu Erhs, only better. Hard to give 5 stars when you’re reviewing CYH’s Manzhuan pure gushu at the same time, so I’ll stick to 4, but this is quite a good find at quite a good price.

I must agree with Mr. Yoshimura, the previous reviewer: this is a work of art. Exquisite balance, wonderful patience, calm strength, absolutely no defect, mind-hacking. I would indeed place it above the 2001 & 2002 CYH Yiwu Gushu (which are already absolutely wonderful teas in their own right).
