2007 Yang Qing Hao Lingya

I think this one is still sold out but I picked up one of the last cakes for sale in 2021? I think.  I have posted about it before of my allergic types of reactions to it … but this time I did’t experience the allergies as bad and its was a great Gushu experience for me… this is of great value for those who picked it up cheap!

Dry leaves have an airy light very sweet cloying odour with slight cherry and hay.

Rinsed leaves have a sweet darker odour.

First infusion has a sweet wet cherries pure taste with an evolution towards darker tastes.  Wet salivating oily texture.  Talc sweet finish. Happy mild high feeling with scalp tinging and face tingling almost itchy. Cooled down it is very creamy sweet talc long chalky sweet presence.

Second infusion has a resin woody very oily pop high note cherry almost sour sweet with a long deepening into darker sweetness of dark cherries but maintaining a light vibrant sweetness. Chalky oily salivating with mid throat deep breath.  Very smooth and nice evolution.  Happy high feeling with stronger face and scalp itchy tingling.  Stronger Calming feeling.Slow chest beats.

Third has a strong oily cherry smooth saliva producing evolving to darker sweetness chalky elegant and calm with a calming peaceful feeling. Cooled down is darker sweet and chalky talc with chalky mild silty feeling slow beats with chest swelling and happy feeling.  

4th is left to cool and is a sour sweet cherry pop with oily throat simulating slight pucker cherries.  Sour cherries with sour pucker.., happy calm feeling with stronger scalp, face and arms itchy, tingling.

5th is left to cool and gives off a wet sweet coco with an oily sticky almost but not quite gripping with warming feeling in the face and head… body feeling targets the face head and scalp and light and tingling limbs!   Nice happy high and peaceful feeling warming energy.  

6th is a sweet cherry oily that goes into a darker coco.  Silty chalky mouthfeel with warming face and head scalp with light limbs and spaced out peaceful feeling.  

7th is a sweet woody smooth plum taste I feel very high and peaceful warm face… very nice.

8th is flash steeped from leaves left overnight… it is left to cool and is sweet plum oily.  

The ninth is plum oily wet watery sweet taste. Very pleasant.

I put the rest into a long mug steeping overnight and it is a vibrant cherry dark fruits sweetness in an oily mouthfeel with still some itchy ting going qi in the face head and scalp.  

This turned into a real nice puerh for its price…. The itch was less this tasting!! The cakes that sold out fast at Yang Qing Hao are all real nice… including this one.

Peace
