2006 Chen Guang He Tang Yiwu Chawang (T4-)

Highlights:

• Gua Feng Zhai old tree
• Smooth but with good intensity, sweetness and long aftertaste
• Noticeable calming Qi
• Great Taiwan dry storage

Chen Guang He Tang is the legendary Mr. Chen Chi-Tong (also author of the famous puerh cakes catalog books) early elite boutique producer of gushu teas. This is one of their last productions, similar quality to CYH, BYH, XZH mid 2000s cakes.

A very refined autumn harvest (reminiscent of the immediately sold out 2007 Chen Yuan Hao Yiwu Chawang Autumn), made of old trees from Gua Feng Zhai which can really be felt in their strength and purity.

It drinks super clean, complex, well evolved, well balanced, has strong aroma, goes on for a long time and gets sweeter and thicker with time passing. There’s a hint of smoke and the usual stone fruits and related flavours you’d find in a real Gua feng zhai.

Big 357g cakes nominal, minimal weight loss over the years because of aging.
