The roof of mouth is dry lots of elements to the mouthfeel. There is done saliva producing as well with almost melon candy under the denser complex forestry tastes.

Long mug overnight steep of spent leaves is … a clear sweet refreshing pure taste there is fresh if forest lime with a mouthwatering sweet creamy building breath.. refreshing and pure vibe… faint ghostly long creamy almost candy finish… so nice. Enough stamina I put it for a few day steeping and it’s a pungent oily lime sweet taste. Very refreshing in this heat wave some sticky feeling and sugar and almost candy fruity finish…
Peace

What are the differences in taste between GFZ micro-lots such as this, Lengshuihe and Chawangshu? Also, will you be able to tell that a tea is from GFZ, and not Wangong?
Anonymous,
Well I would only be based my it on a single sample of these micro lots but this HeiShuiLiangzi is closer to Wanggong than Chawangshu. I am somewhat confident that I can tell the difference between Wanggong and Chawangshu but someone has to send me them in blind and we could know for sure haha
Peace
I think it will be a good idea to provide some sort of characterization and distinction amongst the renowned micro-lots of Yiwu. Could be a fun exercise as well, for yourself and readers to tease out a "typical" Mahei, Gaoshan, Luoshuidong, Wangong, GFZ, Tongqinghe, Baihuatan, Yishanmo, Duoyishu and Tianmenshan. A list where we can contribute to describing what to expect when drinking something from that area. I'm sure its way easier if its single blind test vs a double blind where any puerh is given without any point of comparison. Then of course, this project can be expanded to other famous mountains.

Oooo… that sounds like a big project there! It’s somewhat complicated by the overlapping characteristics of these areas and the fact that sometimes they seem to lack any core character of that area at all due to a variety of reasons…. So it’s complicated but the more you try from the region and even comparing notes like Sub10 did with the 2024 TE Bai Sha He sampled a few posts ago is a good idea. I like reading Shah8 at Sheng of the Day Badger & Blade as he tries to distill a certain character of a new region.
Peace
