2018 Chen Sheng Hao Raw Pu-erh Tea
The 120ml Gaiwan and 5g tea leaves volume are the best brewing method for "Chen Shenghao" products suitable for popular drinking.
First, watch its tea cake. The strips are neat and sturdy, with bright buds and leaves; the pressed cake is round in shape and suitable for tightness.
Secondly, tasting and drinking. The liquor is yellow, bright and clear, the aroma is strong and long-lasting, the taste is rich, with strong salivation and a long aftertaste. It combines freshness, fragrance, sweetness.
Then, the steeped tea leaves are lively and clean. After the baptism of boiling water, each piece of tea leaves shows people the vitality cast by hundreds of years of wind and snow, full of toughness and excellent craftsmanship.
Finally, this is a high-end product that combines the strengths of all mountains and reaches the "golden ratio" in terms of taste coordination and stability. It is well integrated and is a rare high-end product.
Gongfu style (recommended)
About 5–7 g of leaf in a 100–120 ml gaiwan or small teapot, with water just off the boil (100 °C / 212 °F). Rinse once for 5–10 seconds and pour it away. Start with infusions of about 5–10 seconds and add a few seconds each round. Good leaf gives 8–15 infusions.
Mug or teapot
About 3–4 g per 250 ml, with water just off the boil. Rinse once, then steep 1–2 minutes for the first cup and a little longer for each cup after. The leaves give 3–4 cups.
Too bitter? Shorten the steep or use a little less leaf. Keep the water just off the boil.
Storage
Keep cakes in their paper wrappers, in a cardboard box, bamboo or unglazed clay, off the floor. Aim for 20–25 °C (68–77 °F) and 60–70% relative humidity, out of direct light, away from strong smells and with some airflow. For long-term aging, don't use the fridge, silica gel or airtight bags; a sealed tin is fine for the portion you are drinking now. Fuzzy or colored spots or a musty smell mean mold: don't drink it.
