This tea is very clean for its age. Personally I feel this tea more on the strong side with both its flavor and Qi. I feel it can be a little more intense than others I have had. Overall this is a great tea and I highly recommend it for the price.

This tea has to be one of my most favorite. The sheer elegance is outstanding! Very bright floral notes that produce complex flavors that just make you want more. This is the tea that I use when I want to show people how interesting and bright Puerh can be. I rate this up there with the best of the best.

This tea is Ethereal and magical! I brewed in Yixing clay for the first two sessions and it wasn't till the third season in a gaiwan that I realised I was brewing this way too strong! It indeed is like water... This tea is extremely responsive and brewing her is like riding the wild horse. Inside there is every fruit of the forest to be found. She is playful, giggly, full of fun and surprise. The most beautiful part, is that while she bestows her cornacopia of delight in abundance, she still retains plenty of mystery to keep you wanting to explore further. If I had only one chance to impress the Tea Master, I would proudly serve this with great attention, in the finest Jingdezhen porcelain.

I accidentally hit this with boiling water on the very first rinse. Tasting this rinse was a very powerful lightning experience; Beautiful, strong and deep, bursting with all the joy we look forward to in our tea journey! I would agree that the session is best started with lower temperature water. Off-the-hook phenomenal quality! 💕

So silky and softly. The initial steeps had a gentle, nourishing milk-like feel, very surprising as I was expecting bitterness, but it's power was held in reserve, you can push it yes, but absolutely no need to, quick flash steeps will fill the cup with fragrance and flavours. The most delightful part of this tea is after maybe after 20 steeps (where I usually use a teapot cosy), the sweetness develops and becomes engulfing, a truly unique and signature huigan that stays with me for days, seductive in it's demand for attention, rewarding in it's gift of joy.

Remaining this one “Noble Heart” Over the past year, I’ve been deep into a tea practice. Mainly Shou Puerh, a few sheng sprinkled in. I sit for about an hour or two each day in deep contemplation, I find the chi energy is critical for the quality of the experience. I’ve sat with dozens of different teas, this one has been my favorite. Deep, peaceful, noble, opens the wisdom channel deeply. My wife was in the midst of a mental breakdown one morning, menopause related, in a hour with this tea it was like a deep dark energy cleared and she had gotten a piece of insight that shifted her in such a profound way. She doesn’t like Puerh but this is her favorite. She is the one that named it Noble heart. Bought 5 bricks!

Here are a few photos of this tea, as it moved from the natural dry leaves to the first few cupfuls

I have just started my first potful of this tea.
Initial comments – the early brews appeared light gold in the gong dao bei, but a rich gold in the cup.
Even by brew 4, the liquor was hazy with some fine material floating in it
After an initial rinse, the next brew was a revelation – it completely got my attention. After each mouthful, the flavour and mouthfeel remained for several minutes.
I used a Duanni pot and would say that for me the flavour of the first 4 brews started to approach bitterness, but in a way that wasn’t hard to handle. I certainly found the Qi immersive and it shaped the rest of my afternoon. It helped hold my attention, despite the arrival of a thunderstorm and no matter what else I went on to do.
I’d love to share some photos – will have to find a way
I’m writing this on the day the tea arrived from Paolo and Una – hence a cautious 4 stars until I’ve had more sessions on different days
I’m on brew #5. My initial feelings are:
– the taste is clean and rich, really thirst quenching and leaving a lovely sensation/taste echo afterwards
– the mouthfeel is superb
– the aroma is so much cleaner than many Shous I’ve had before
– The Qi feels good. I think its accurate to call it calming as I’ve had a busy day
with much multitasking and demanding activities
– I feel energised, plus that most promising sign of all:
– All I want to do is keep brewing another potful, then another
One of our favourite teas from Paolo, Una & mr chen. We always try to keep a bit on our shelves for all special occasions – ceremony between ourselves or when close friends come over. Truly opens the heart, takes you to childhood memories and has such a beautiful refined taste that opens and changes through-out at least 10 steepings you can get from it.
A very powerful tea, with Bulang-style bitterness which melts away almost as soon as it arrives. Sustains intensity of flavour very well, and qi comes through strongly from the middle of the session – qi shifting fascinatingly from meditative to energising to intoxicating over the next hour.
