2024 ChenYuan Hao ManXiu: Viscus Purfume Sweetness



Close in proximity to MaHei I sampled the day before and needing a little kick I went for the 2024 ChenYuan Hao ManXiu (approx $189.00 for 200g or $0.95/g).  Last year’s 2023 ChenYuan ManXiu changed the way I see high quality ManXiu with a really light and more ethereal ManXiu… I wonder if this one will be lore ethereal like last year or stronger in body like my common experience of ManXiu???

Dry leaves have a pungent sweet deeper forest odour.

Rinsed leaves have a floral ripe fruity almost mango/ banana odour.

First infusion has a pungent forest creamy sweet oily blast of taste.  The taste is a dense forest sweet purfume pungent taste.  Some cooling breath and long sweet berries taste.  A perfume cherry finish with a soft silty mouthfeel.  Spacy mind feeel.

Second infusion has a forest sweet chalky sweet taste with a deeper forest almost bitter chalky sweet taste.  Mouthfeel is chalky.  Deep dense taste that is a bit salty bitter and sweet with a dense forest taste cool throat and lingering cherry perfume sugar taste.  Subtle body floating.

Third infusion has a buttery sweet oily sugar with a perfume forest taste underneath.  The oily chalky viscus mouthfeel hold a bit of lingering sweet aftertaste and ripe banana mango taste.  Spacy mind and warming face with light libs and jaw.  Chalky fruity taste lingers minutes later.  



Fourth infusion has a slight fast moving bitter oily chalky sweet taste.  Oily buttery viscosity is big in this puerh.  The mouthfeel is an oil slick!  It leaves a fruity sweet creamy oily sweetness behind even minute later. Space out mind and light limbs and jaw.  Very delicious and satisfying with the long oily taste. Some chest opening.

Fifth has an oily woody slightly fast bitter floral sweet taste.  With oily viscous textures and sticky mouthfeel underneath.  There is some cooling then woody butter florals.  Space out with warming face jaw and chest.  Long lingering floral sweet fruit minutes later.

Sixth has an oily fruity onset with a quick bitterness and floral woody finish with slight drying sticky mouth. Lingering floral woody not as sweet taste.  Spaced out.  With jaw and chest bodyfeeling.

Seventh has a buttery creamy fruity mild quick moving bitter.  Oily chalky mouthfeel long lingering creamy slight bitter woody floral sweet finish.  Cooled down it gives off a sweet creamy fruity cooling pungent sweet taste.  Spacy Qi with chest and jaw sensations.  

8th is a watery oily sort of background sweet taste with faint floral buttery slight sweet finish… less flavours here… spacy feeling with chest tight and jaw is loose bodyfeel.



The long mug infusion has a buttery oily sweet taste.  Some quick moving bitterness.  There is some floral and sweetness in the finish.  The texture is really nice and oily thick.  Face sweats and warmth as well as chest expanding and jaw light feeling.  

Peace
