I received this complimentary sample for review- this 2024 Tea Encounter Luoshuidong goes for $160.95 for 250g cake or $0.64/g. I was feeling like the energy of the classic LuoShuiDong let’s see if this one satisfies…
The dry leaves have a piercing strong pungent pineapple and tropical fruits odour! Mouthwatering!
The rinsed leaves are more fresh grassy with than sweet peach apple.
First infusion has a pure clear watery taste with a refreshing pungent grassy creamy almost tropical sweetness. Relaxed slight spacy energy.
Second infusion has a faint candy sweet pop with spice onset. Smooth mouthwatering wet mouth with quenching feeling. Slight woody Forest taste underneath. Wet mouth and saliva with slight mild chalky coating. Some chest expansion and deep sighs. A relaxing mellow and quenching experience.
Third infusion has a pure watery sweet sort of mint because there is a returning cooling pungency. There is a bit of chalky sandy coating and mouthwatering wet mouth. Relaxing with chest release and deep sighs. Some slow chest beats and comfortable body feeling. Slight spacy mind.
Fourth infusion is left to cool and is a fruity pungent forest sweet taste. Sort of minty pungent. With a soft chalky mouthfeel and salivating. Relaxing feeling with chest qi of slow beats and open chest and diaphragm feeling.
Fifth infusion has a sweet almost banana tropical with woody Forest taste and pungent cooling. Sandy chalky feeling is mild with more of a wet salivation on top. Relaxing with chest and diaphragm opening feeling slow chest beats relax. Slight spacy high. Some pungent woody Forest sweetness in the finish.
Sixth is left to cool and is a slight bitter sweet cooling pungent forest with soft mouthfeel. Fruity pungent woody frorest. Cool finish slight soft sandy stick mouthfeel. Can feel it subtle on the empty stomach but. Ice relaxing and chest and abdominal opening.
Seventh infusion has a pungent woody Forest with very subtle bitterness. Sticky lips and tongue deep spacy relaxing here with abdominal and chest open and light with slowing Heart beats. The effect is welcome.
Eighth has a watery slight peachy tropical with woody Forest and pungent cool. The mouthfeel is a bit sandy sticky now with lesser mouthwatering very faint bitterness but not astringent. Nice relaxing effect with limbs slight light and chest and abdomen open.
Ninth infusion has a slight spice bitter woody Forest with woody pungent finish. Slight hit to empty stomach with the bitterness. Mouthwatering with sandy sticky mouth coating. Relaxing spacy feeling with chest abdominal Qi.
10th has a bitter peachy woody Forest onset with a spice and cool pungent base. The mouthfeel is sticky sandy and some wet feeling but less now. Spacy relaxing continues and open front body. Slight light limbs and shoulders.
11th has a quick burst of sweet melon peach over a woody Forest and cooling pungent taste. Spacy relaxing feeling gives me a subtle clear minded peace.
12th infusion has a spice pungency woody Forest taste with some oily wet feeling and mouthwatering still. Nice spaced out relaxing things happening here. Open front body relaxed body feeling.
13th has a spicy woody Forest onset with very very mild bitter and slight dry sandy sticky mouthfeel. Relaxing spaced out.
14th has a watery spicy woody onset not much sweetness here. Slight mild bitter slight dry sandy mouthfeel. Spacy relaxing continues with comforting body feel.
A long mug infusion of spent leaves is oily and mellow fruity sweet almost minty and a bit of woody. Clear simple and satisfying in this way..
This session is very much what I was looking for today a relaxing space out that is comfortable in the body and puts the mind at ease…. Good ol LuoShuiDong… a classic Yiwu area is predictably satisfying as my first of the 2024 Tea Encounter’s offerings.
Peace
