This 2024 ChenYuan Hao MaHei goes for approx $189.00 for 200g cake or $0.95/g. I selected this sample out of the remaining 2024 ChenYuan Hao samples Monday morning this week after sampling the two Chawangshu and two GuaFengZhai the week before because I was in the mood for a characteristic happy fruity floral MaHei… this one did not disappoint!
Dry leaves have a deeper sweet floral creamy sweetness.
Rinsed leaf has a deeper fruity odour with light sugary edges.
First infusion has a sugary sweetness upfront that returns as a candy cherry taste. Mouthwatering and melts over the mouth. A nice clear delicious mouthwatering sweet transformation and build up. Cooling breath mouthwatering finish. Soft cottony mouthfeel.
Second is left to cool and has a very sweet oily juicy viscus sort of deeper fruity taste with a bready cherry sort of floral layer. Oily viscus mouthfeel. Sweet layers with a deep sweet feeling. Some coolness and candy sweet taste returning. Mild happy feeling soft bodyfeel.
Third infusion is left to cool and has a sweet spicy taste watery sugar fruity underneath almost bready with an almost candy returning sweet aftertaste. Cereal/ hay tastes. fluffy mouthfeel with sticky edges.
Fourth has a sugar soft spice woody hey cereal. Less sweet with mild body feeling and happy vibe. Some cooling but candy sweetness doesn’t breath throat. Slight sandy sticky mouth edges. Happy calm vibe.
Fifth has a watery creamy fruity sugar banana onset with soft fluffy mouthfeel with sticky edges. Long sweet sugar finish. There is faint pops of grape candy in the finish. Peaceful happy feeling. Soft soothing body feeling.
Sixth has a creamy sugar woody almost sour almost banana taste that has a viscus feel with sticky edges. This infusion is less sweet and more dry sticky gripping cereal woody. Happy feeling with mild bodyfeel some Heart feeling.
Seventh has a woody sour slight dry gripping with a stronger happy feeling. Chest swelling with throat fullness bodyfeeling. Mild happy vibes.
Eighth has a woody sweet dry sticky edges with dry tongue tip. Slight almost candy but really not much sweetness left. A happy vibe with bubbling chest and throat bodyfeeling. Sticky tongue mouthfeel is a bit unique. Not much sweetness here anymore.
The long mug infusion is a sweet sugar with some floral lingering and following a nice sugar taste. There is a dry sticky almost sharp tongue feeling. Sugar and floral and woody. Bubbling open chest feeling with chest expanding and strong happy feel goods- I really felt like a tea like this today so I went with this MaHai feeling it would be this vibe and it never failed. It’s got that happy vibe MaHai Qi feeling that I was looking for. Nothing overwhelming strong or too crazy complex ( but nice complexity nonetheless) here but mainly good vibes on a Monday!
Peace
