Sweet old-new Yi-Wu mountain tea

What is your best Yi Wu mountain puerh tea you have ever tried? Maybe some old, expensive Yi Wu wild from the 70's. Some other from the 80's. Or I am sure you cannot resist to a big leaf, wild Yi Wu from the mid or the end 90's. Ok, but what was the best Yi-Wu at an affordable price? Some tea from the new era of the Douji label without doubt. Yes, they have very good young teas, especially from the expensive 2006 and previous range. But whatever you think the best YiWu teas you tasted were sold all through Hong Kong or Taiwan vendors. No one from the recent pseudo "Yi Wu cakes" at 10 USD in the mainland was a remarkable tea. We tasted several samples from it with my friends from Taiwan and any time they said - "green tea". Yes, sheng puerh is a green tea, but it must be yellowish bright in the cup, with hundreds of oils and aroma, clean and pure aroma, with nutty full body, semi sweet in the main taste and long sweet in the aftertaste. Generally speaking fresh Yi Wu could be a green tea, but with a wide panoramic, fresh character and thick middle lane which serve to guarantee the capacity of aging. Yi Wu is so good, because the most balanced of all puerh teas between cha qi, taste, aroma and appearance, and this middle bold lane characterized by amino acids is not overwritten by too harsh kick force.

In this Yi Wu range of my memory one recent, very comfortable experience is the usual or traditionally named Yi Wu Zheng Shan from The Yin Yi Tea Art, a malaysian vendor labeled in 2006. The price is over 70 USD for a cake which is 400 gr. The aspect of the cake is beautiful as it must be every wild arbor tea, eventually watch pictures here. The most frequent aroma in Yi Wu teas is the camphor which does not have a fast character, but very rich and diversified without sour aspect.

The liquor is shining bright yellow and the taste is bold and as swelter as the rain after summer and as sweet and full as some fig jam. After taste is creamy and as long as the future of this tea will be. Many other Taiwan and Malaysia settled vendors are keeping guard to produce so excellent teas.
