2024 ChenYuan Hao YiBang: Relaxing Airy Vibes

 

This 2024 ChenYuan Hao YiBang goes for approx $189.00 or $0.95/g.  Last years 2023 ChenYuan Hao YiBang was a more of a clear pure not quite but closer to ethereal type of YiBang with just a touch of astringency but not much for bitterness…. I changed my perspective of YiBang being less strong and more light and pure.  It seems that this one is also of that vein probably from the same garden…

Dry leaves very a sweet grapes odour.

The rises leaf is even more sweet sugar grape forest sweet… yummy!

First infusion has a watery clear grape sweet oily sugar. Melts over mouth sweetness.  Oily sweet pop of grape sugars. 

Second infusion has a sweet pungent cooling sugar grape fruity silky sweet taste. Nice silky evolving mild sweetnesses. Sweet finish in the mouth soft mouthfeeling .  Airy Qi feeling with some chest beats. Cooled down it has a sweet forest cool sugar ghostly grape sweet taste.  Long sugar cooling taste.  Airy feeling limbs and slow chest beats.

Third infusion has a sugar watery sweet onset.  Oily soft mouthfeel with lingering sugar taste.  Smooth and airy Qi with some chest Qi building up. Spacy upbeat relaxing feeling. 

Fourth infusion has a fruity pear sugar taste almost spice wood mid infusion with faint edges of bitterness.  Bitter woods with sandy slight pulling in the back of the throat.  Spacy relaxing feeling with airy limbs.

Fifth infusion has a sweet fruit taste with sugar layer.  Simple sweet with an airly feeling and chest beats in the body.  Cooled down is smooth oily sort of faint banana sugar faint sweet taste.   Not really any bitterness for Yibang feels unusual to me but very smooth airy and relaxing.  Contains very little characteristic Yibang but so interestingly smooth and soft. Unique in this respect.

Sixth is left to cool and has an oily smooth sweet onset that turns into soft grape sweet taste.  Woody sticky finish.  Relaxing airy vibes limbs light mild Qi experience.  Smooth. 

7th is left to cool and has a sweet light banana sugar sweet taste with nice long stretching out of mild banana sugar fruity taste.  Smooth chalky mouthfeel.  Nice fruity return but long sweet taste.   Relaxing calming with limbs mildly airy. Long creamy cooling banana fruity sugar taste.

8th has a creamy sweet sugar onset with oily mild texture and soft sweet finish. Some faint woody. Relaxing mild feeling.  

The long mug infusion has a lesser sweet grape sugar sort of bitter musky pungent.  Sticky mouthfeel that is almost pucker tight but not really.  Cool breath.  Mainly bitter woody musky sort of perfume pungent than sweet here.
