Daqishu is an area of Yiwu and I don’t remember having one
from this specific area. I picked up
this sample from Liquid Proust last year…
Dry leaves smell of a very creamy candy floss sweet floral
woody odour.
First infusion has a creamy soft candy sweet taste that
begins then floats off into the distance.
There is some sweet creamy candy like sweetness that rides out on the
breath also an almost carrot/ sweet potato nuance faintly in the distance but
mainly this long creamy sweet ethereal uninterrupted taste very Yiwu taste.
The Second infusion has a peachy creamy sweet onset with a
long airy clear note of sweet creamy Yiwu that hangs up in the breath a
bit. Very soft mossy full mouthfeeling
with a bit of saliva producing but a deep vacuous throat feeling. Nice floating out of body Qi feeling here
with some body wobbling side to side feeling as if bobbing like a buoy in the
ocean.
3rd has a slightly more woody sharing a balance
between sweet creamy and woody dry onset with very clear notes not interrupted
by any storage notes- this one is stored quite dry and the result is lots of
clarity here. There is a bit of a
juicier peachy nuance here with mainly a long creamy sweetness that uninterrupted
rides out in the breath. Deep breath
throat feeling. Nice mossy full
mouthfeeling with a deep subtle open throatfeeling. Nice spacy Qi with some chest beats. A bit time slowing Qi here too.
4th was left to cool down and it gives off a
woody watery almost honey sort of floral and ends creamy sweet in the mouth and
breath. Ethereal and airy and pure and
light. There is more of a mossy gripping
mouthfeeling now with a slight pull at the throat. Nice spacy feeling qi with some chest beats.
5th infusion has a watery almost sweet potato
nuance to it over woody with faint suggestions of creamy sweet and maybe peach
taste. Nice chalky mossy and slightly
tugging the throat sensations. Nice
spacy Qi feeling. Some almost candy
glimpses in the aftertaste. Clear taste
profile nice spacy qi.
6th has an oily buttery creamy taste slight woody
with a melon and sweet potato there is woody creamy nuances that fade into the
breath here. Nice spacy feeling.
7th has a melon watery fruity onset with clear
taste of Yiwu here. The cool cup is even
clearer sweet potato and melon taste fade out in the breath and less deep in
the throat now. Very straightforward
single estate material.
8th has a woody oily sweet potato and melon onset
with a subtle fading out into creamy sweetness.
Very clear and simple single estate gushu brilliantly dry stored. Nice spacy feeling to the Qi. In the body there is a loose jaw feeling in
the face and some more obvious chest Heart beats.
9th is cooled down and gives off a sweet woody
sort of melon peach with a nice faint fade out.
The mouthfeeling is mossy with a bit of gripping- pretty mild. Nice floating feeling, spacy, with heart
beats.
10th has an oily peachy woody taste with a nice
lubricating texture when left to cool.
Nice soft mossy mouthfeeling.
Simple and clear taste. Nice mild
spacy feeling.
11th has a woody oily taste with a bit of distant
peach not that sweet but absolutely no bitter or astringency either.
I mug steep out the spent leaves and it gives off woody
faint onset with a peachy melon taste to it.
The mouthfeel is a full mossy slight gripping feeling. The peachy taste lingers for mintues later
popping in the mouth and saliva then fading only to come back again. Nice spaced out feeling here.
This is a very simple high quality, straightforward and pure single
estate Yiwu Gushu with near perfect storage and processing. What’s not to like about this??
Peace
