2025 Tea Encounter Guafengzhai Tiger Hunting Mountain Liehushan

2025 Tea Encounter Tiger Hunting Mountain LieHuShan goes for $323.00isg for 200g or $1.61/g…. This was a great session…

Dry leaves are a very sweet clear icing sugar fruity sweet odour.

Rinsed leaves have a very cooling pungent piercing odour to them.

First infusion is a watery pungent sweet spice with sugar long wet taste and oily and soft chalky mouthfeel with a nice return and aftertaste of sweet chalky fruity taste. Cooled down it is very soft sweet evolution of creamy sugars and at the end more sugar and almost fruity sweet taste.

Second infusion has a watery long pure pungent taste with sugar sweet onset the evolves into an apricot long fruit taste. The mouthful is soft wet with saliva producing and deep throat saliva gobs which hold the very sweet pure apricot for minutes after swallowing.  Very nice!  Wispy spacy floating relaxing feel.  

Third infusion has a watery sweet sugar and fruity real elegant evolving sweet taste with fruity- sugar- creamy- then fruity lingering aftertaste with saliva producing mildly and deeply in the throat where long sweetness dwells.  Spacy high relaxing waves feeling.  Cooled down it is an oily wet mouth layered evolving sweet taste.  Long creamy sweet finish.

Fourth infusion has a spicy cooling pungent onset with a juicy oily sweet taste that is more sugar then turns fruity.  Spacy high in clouds deeper travelling outside the body.  Long sweet pure evolution of  taste.  Cooled down highlight the sweet tastes even more- long evolving sweet tastes.

5th infusion is very sweet oily fruity long pure juicy fruity sweet tastes. Saliva gobs deep in the throat with soft chalky mouthfeel and deep throat salivating.  Long evolving strong sweet tastes. Spaced out stoned happy feeling is strong. 

6th infusion is a sweet wood creamy pungent taste.  Starts to be a touch less sweet.  Has a mild woody almost bitter.  Deeply spacy out of body relaxing.  

7th has a watery sweet onset with hints of faint melon.  Watery smooth pure onset of juicy almost faint jam notes then sugars then melon. Soft chalky feel less saliva producing now 

8th has a watery almost fruity but more sugary wet mouthwatery woody sweet taste with faint evolution of lesser sweetness still very long in the profile and evolving but less so. Happy high deep floating away in the mind feeling is of very high quality and very nice.

9th is a long overnight mug steeping and is a deeper sweet bitter oily taste.  Oily sweet bitter sort of melon taste.  Floating body sensation and mind relaxation is deeper.  

This is my favourite of the 2025 Tea Encounter Guafengzhai offerings. I like its bitter base that comes out later and mainly its strong high quality floating away in a drifting mind feeling and floating bodyfeeling.  The 2025 Tea Encounter Guafengzhai LengShuiHe is a close second place especially considering its price.

Peace
