Luo Shui Dong 2012 Spring

Very well balanced mixture of spicy, discreet floral, bitter and astringent notes with pleasant stable character and great body. Reminds a bit of the 2012 EoT Baotang, albeit finer, more subtle and with less intensive Qi.

I received this cake yesterday. I am lucky to be able to compare with the 2011 autumn Luo Shui Dong harvest. This 2012 spring cake is a real enjoyment for me : I generously put the leaves in my zini shui ping (about 7-8g / 85 ml). It is never bitter or astringent. It is quite strong, fruity, flowery, sweet, candy like. So delicious ! I keep the liquor 30 seconds in my mouth, appreciate its quality. The 2011 autumn version has less body and strength, more on the fruity side, with "old wine" notes. Very calming tea. Both are worth possessing in your pu er stash !! Thanks once again Eugene and Belle for these pu er cake. I will certainly have many great sessions with them !!

As the weather is nice and sun is shining, I tried this tea today in my Yixing. For me a calm and sweet tea that suits me for the last 2 hours... the leaf is very fine and unbroken... I also enjoyed the post in your blog! Tea with history and face... just want to say "Thank you" for some nice cups!

The tea brews a very light yellow, lighter than most sheng I think. It is a fairly light tea with some initial sweetness but underlying bitterness (in a good way). It has a decent mouthfeel - slightly drying/astringent. This is a good beginner sheng.
