I purchased this 2004 Yang Qing Hao Dingji Yesheng ($615 per cake or $1.23/g) cake straight out of Yang’s Storage in January 2024($525.00 for 500g cake). These notes are from that cake. I have purchased a few of these cakes in the last few years. I appreciate the complexity and variety session to session due tothe blend and the strong Qi is always consistent session to session. Not as elegant as other 2004s Yang Qing Haos but I prefer the complexity and variety of this blend and mainly the strong deep and powerful Qi…
Dry leaves smell of a very sweet creamy woody sweetness.
Rinsed leaves have a very creamy very sweet odour to them.
First infusion has a creamy vibrant sweetness to them. Smooth creamy and sweet. Slight woody and cooling with a silty slight tight
Second infusion has a creamy sweet onset with a spacy Qi. Creamy slight vegital woody but mainly creamy sweet watery taste. Slight warming Qi development. Big complex qi with heart beats and energy but relaxing euphoria.
Third infusion is left to cool and is a smooth creamy sweet woody creamy onset with wet mouth and a slight dry mouthfeel underneath with some mild a salivation. Long almost candy creamy sweet aftertaste. Big qi deep energetic and relaxing euphoria with big chest beats.
Fourth is a smooth creamy sweet slight woody sweet taste. Some kouthwsterinf long creamy sweet almost candy. Overall soft smooth and almost muted. Complex big qi feeling.
Fifth has a creamy sweet creamy woody smooth soft taste. There is some creamy smooth almost candy aftertaste. Big complex Qi slight dry mouthfeel under a wet coat.
Sixth infusion has a watery juicy creamy sweet pop of almost fresh fruit flavour with creamy candy finish. Strong spacy qi makes me giddy. Woody creamy almost Smokey but very creamy sweet throughout with some fresh fruits trying to push through the creamy sweet. Warm brow and heat heart, spacy euphoric.
I come back to the leaves at the end of the day.
Seventh is a creamy sweet bready sweet taste. Soft and smooth but with a cottony full mouthfeel a sticky silty feel is left behind. Some salivating pop of candy sweet almost fresh fruity sweet taste. Spacey euphoria with energetic chest beats and leaving body spacy. Limbs and face light and numb with face warmth. Lingering cinnamon note minutes later. Lots of layers of sweet tastes, mouthfeels, and Qi sensations experts a complex feeling overall.
The eighth infusion has a fruity almost fresh sour fruit. Creamy sweet more candy in the finish. Long creamy candy finish. Cotton mouth with creamy.
The ninth infusion is a very sweet creamy custard with icing sugar and some faint fresh fruits. There is a bit more gripping dry woody almost bitterness now. Dry woody candy finish. Stronger Qi feeling in the head now with strong chest beats and spacy fuzzy head.
The tenth infusion is left to cool and is a sweet fruity fresh pear with a creamy sweet woody talc finish. Creamy sweet almost candy finish. Less salivating now and slight dry mouthfeel. Strong spacy feeling.
11th infusion has a sweet woody fruity taste. It’s getting more woody a bit cereal and less sweet layers. Almost a dry woody bitterness. Spacy strong Qi sensation.
12th is a long mug steeping and it gives off a thick oily sweetness there is a thick fruity taste but also faint smoke, very faint bitterness. Thick almost leathery but lots of sweetness. Strong flavour and depth when pushed harder here. Lots of stamina left in these leaves. Big Qi feeling… very spaced out today!
I put it into an overnight steeping of spent leaves it comes out slight woody sweet vegital then transforms into a woody sweet mint coco sort of reminds me of those Jr. Mints chocolate candies. Very yummy. Lots of fresh minty woody coco fresh fruity silty mud mouthfeel. Sweet pops of flavour oily thick feeling in the mouth.
Although it has always been a top Yang Qing Hao production the price has always remained high so it has not sold out like some of the others that were priced lower. I still like this one a lot!
Peace
