2024 Laos Chawang Single Extra Tall Ancient Tree #5


I was most excited about this 2024 Laos Single Extra Tall Tree(approx $300.00 for 200g cake or $1.50/g) sample having never tried a single tree sample from Laos before despite travelling there to the tea growing region.  It was not a preferable method of tea drinking back then large trees were always combined together ...

Dry leaves have a very sweet candy almost slight pungent but deeply sweet Yiwu odour. 

First infusion has a light watery creamy sweet fluffy soft mouthfeel. There is a movement towards returning sweet taste. Sugar to creamy sweet to melon. Soft sticky feeling left on the tongue. Some tingling out of body mild feeling developing.

Second infusion has a soft sweet onset with a gentle curved sweet evolution.  There is sugar, creamy sweet and a pop and trailing off of melon.  Silty smooth mouthfeel.  Mild body floating feeling. Tingling face. Deep sigh.

Third has a creamy very soft sweetness that melts into a slight pungent creamy sweetness.  Watery soft with an easy transition through some soft smooth sweet tastes.  Some tingling in the scalp and head.  



Fourth infusion has a watery pungent sweet taste onset with a slight sandy mouthfeel and sandy roof of mouth.  Some cool throat.  Face tingling is the most pronounced bodyfeeling along with a nice diaphragm releasing sigh.  Melon aftertaste on the roof of the mouth.

Fifth is left to cool and is a sweet oily soft creamy melon light flufffy airy very very smooth profile that weaves in and out of sweetness, coolness, pungency but mainly a soft sweetness.   Mouthwatering honeydew melon taste sums prominent.

Sixth has a watery woody dry bark onset with a soft emerging sweet melon creamy taste building. Peaceful sighing energy.  Face tingling. 

Seventh is woody sweet gentle with cool breath and creamy sweet soft reveal.  Cool pungent is very gentle and end and flows within soft honeydew melon taste. Refreshing vibes.  Soft body with face tingling a bit stronger. Chest unraveling.

Eighth is felt to cool and is a cooling pungent creamy sweet smooth soft sweetness with face tingling.  Open chest with deep sigh relaxing.



long mug steeping and it has a pungent cooling forest taste with long deeper cooling breath a menthol woody Forest taste almost bitter woody is in there too.  Open chest with tingles.

Days long infusion is a pungent forest oily ashy with a light sweet underbelly.

Peace
