2009 Yang Qing Hao 888 Gong Pin


This 2009 Yang Qing Hao 888 Guan Pin goes for $900 for 500g cake or $1.80/g. It’s one of the higher end ones such as the 600 years tree posted yesterday…

Dry leaves have a woody almost dry vegetal sweet odour.

First infusion has a watery light almost woody floral dry grassy hard to grasp flavour with a slow to evolve long mild cooling candy faint breath. Long candy even minutes later. Relaxing chest flutters.

Second has a malty sweet pure taste that evolves into a long distinct bubble gum / candy sweet taste.  Soft mouthfeel and floating focused feeling.  Long sweet candy taste.  Chest flutters. Deep focusing and reflection like standing outside one’s body.

Third infusion has a mild clear almost herby cool medical sweetness with a long clear sweet candy finish. Super strong ethereal qi that takes me outside my body and gives me productive focus and perspective at the same time! Heart flutters…. A really beautiful experience for me here!



Fourth is a pure sweet clear herby mild sweetness with long bubble candy sweet taste even minutes later. Out of body focusing energy that is profound matches with fluttering chest and deep diaphragm feeling. Very nice Qi feeling top notch! Cooled down it has a melon sweet pure taste long creamy sweetness. Strong qi in the mind.

5th has a creamy sweetness pure taste with a chalky sweet taste that turns into long candy breath. Profound Qi feelings! Mind focused. Cooled its sweet melon and creamy custard with long answer finish.

The next day I go back to flash steeping… 6th has a sweet fruity clear taste wet mouth with almost metallic and spice nuances.cooled down it has more of a long faint candy finish.  Qi not as strong but some floating and lightness. Cooled down it has a talc sweetness.

7th has a watery sweet taste with a sweet slight tight almost astringent tight feeling in the mouth.  Cooling breath long faint sweetness on breath.

8th I put into a long mug infusion… it has a dark herby moderate bitter mild astringency oily mouthfeel with distant menthol cooling.  Slight medicinal herby taste.  Spicy mild taste.  Space-out feeling.  Strong out of body qi here lots of chest slow and strong feeling.



An overnight infusion is oily coco very sweet with fresh melon nice chesty qi with face as well and sweet coco melon deliciousness. Slight silty mouthfeel smooth in the mind elevating and spacy.  This is one of Yang Qing Hao’s best for sure…

Peace
