The Mangzhi area puerh that Zheng Si Long produces is always some of my most enjoyable from them… so I was excited to sample it after a few years… this 2025 Zheng Si Long Mangzhi goes for $67.00 for 200g or $0.34/g.
Rinsed leaves have a sweet pungent almost faint candy odour
First infusion has a sweet pop of sweet sugar almost fruit then almost a metalic woody flat taste. Long cool breath. Chest expanding energy. Slight very mild grainy woody base with sweet pungent overtop. Face is warming. Chest expand. Cooled down it is very sweet juicy fruity with a bit of wood spice. Smooth mouthfeel. Mid throat opening with hard to grasp nuances of candy on the breath.
Second infusion has a watery pungent sort of metallic woody flat taste. Cooling breath goes into mid throat with an almost soapy candy finish. Chesty flutters and opening chest. Bodyfeeling is concentrated here. Slightly anxious feeling of uplifting energies.
Third infusion is a bit bitter sweet apricot flat almost metallic woody. Sticky louthfeeel with sqeeky roof and comes with return of fruity peach taste and mid throat cooling opening. Spacy but slight jittery anxious power buildup. Eyes feel soft lots of chest qi with flutters and expanding feelings.

I stop due to the bitter punch and put the rest into a mug for a long steeping….it comes out a flat woody vegetal sort of metallic with a moderate strong bitterness. Big chest feeling Qi is quite strong. Long lingering bitterness.
