2024 ChenYuan Hao ChenYi (YiWuchaWang): Sweet Pop Mind Stop!



This 2024 ChenYuan Hao ChenYi (YiWu ChaWang) goes for approx $248.00 for 200g cake or $1.24/g.  I tried this one after the similarity priced 2024 ChenYuan Hao WanGong but liked this one a lot more…

Dry leaves are very creamy sweet Yiwu with a soapy purfume odour.

Rinsed leaf is very sweet fruity pungent forest odour.  Layers of sweet fruit smells delicious!

First infusion has a very creamy fluffy sweetness with sweet fruit finish.  Pure clear watery with a quick fade out of flavours.  Subtle high building.

Second infusion has a sweet fruity peachy pear sugar creamy sweet onset soft fluffy mouthfeel.  Big burst of sweet flavours clear and pure then a fade out of flavours..  spacy feeling with heavy mind slight sleepy. Cooled down it becomes a denser creamier peachier sweetness almost syrup-like.  Heavy body and slowing mind with faint Heart flutter.  Reminds me a bit of a good Mahei area.

Third infusion has a peachy creamy sweet taste.  Big peach fruity flavour up front!  Creamy peachy sugar!  It fades pretty fast with a grains taste left behind and a fuzzy head/ heavy head Qi feeling.  Cool it is very more juicy creamy peachy.



Fourth has a juicy peachy sugar taste with watery pure feeling some faint cereal / woody appears here.  Cooled down it is a juicy pear oily viscus sweet with woody faint in the distance.  Heavy head feeling with some mind slow and spacy feeling. Heavy body slowness.

Fifth has an oily pear sugar taste.  Oily fruits juicy taste and texture. Sone faint cooling breath faint woody.  Mainly this onset upfront pear fruity sweetness.  Heavy and mind flowing Qi is decently strong… I am pretty groggy!

Sixth has an oily pear woody sweet taste pop.  Oily pure tastes but with each infusion gets less sweet very little aftertaste which is more cereal/ woods than sweet. Mind slowly sleepiness. Soft oily mouthfeel so far.

Seventh has a woody pear sweet peachy onset.  Has a bit more sandy mouthfeel now.  Heavy sensations slow me down nicely.  Cooled down cup has a mainly cereals taste to it with less sweetness.

Eighth infusion has a woody cereal onset with subtle pear sugar return.  Clear pure tastes throughout the session.  Heavy body and slow mind.  Sleepy.

Ninth infusion has a woody oily cereal taste and oily texture some sandy mouthfeel underneath.  Sleepy relaxation with heavy head.

Long mug infusion is a woody mildly bitter with oily texture and faint sweet breath.  Days long infusion is a sweet almost licorice sugar sweet with melon layers in there as well in an oily broth.  Mouthwatering effect and chancy silty mouthfeel.



This Yiwu is all about the strong onset of sweetness and heavy body feels sleepy Qi and slow mind effects!  It doesn’t do much more than this but surely this is remarkable enough?  It was a very nice day I had under the influence of the Qi here.  This has to be top 3-5ish of the puerh I sampled out of these 2024 ChenYuan Hao… nice quality Yiwu!
