2013 Bao Hong Yin Ji Tong Qing He

These notes are from last year… this 2013 Bao Hong Yin Ji Tong Qing He goes for approx 560.00$ for 380g cake or $1.47/g…. Currently sold out at Puerh.uk.

This was the last sample of puerh I enjoyed that I mentioned in my first post back here.  I’m still thinking about how awesome the subtle root and cola flavours and happy high light body floating feeling…. Memorable..

The dry leaves smell like faint woody floral fresh melon sweet.

Rinsed leaves have a sweet very purfume odour to them. 

First infusion has a spice and sweet melon and woody onset.  The good taste comes early and lingered in the mouth with a melon pungent spice taste.  Spicy woody melon sweet with a nice oily viscus mouthfeel cooling breath and open chest feeling. Returning melon sweetness like a powdery candy melon sweet… yummy.  Happy feeling early in the morning here!

Second infusion has a sweet spicy woody perfume onset that is full of interesting and delicious flavour there is a sweet chalky candy melon and spicy finish.  Happy uplifting energy.  Chalky oily mouthfeel feels full in the mouth with deeper opening cooler breath.

Third infusion has a stronger onset of perfume with some spice and sweet and even faint bitter.  Melon chalky candy floral purfume. Cooled down it is a thicker chalky faintly bitter but very sweet tasting with a full mouthfeel and long cooling aftertaste on the breath.

4th has a melon woody spicy taste with oily wet full chalky feeling.  Slight perfume.  Happy feeling qi. Light body.

5th is left to cool and is a smooth woody spice oily almost resin taste with a spice finish and chalky full mouthfeel.  Happy energy in here spacy and happy feel.  

6th infusion has a spice wood taste.  Happy relaxing feel to it.  Light mild bodyfeeling.

7th has a woody spice sweet taste.  The spice woody sweet taste with chalky full mouthfeel and faint cool breath is a nice taste for me a bit unique.  Happy cozy feeling to this puerh.

I put the leaf into a mug and give it a long steeping… it comes out sweet spice wood with a resin woody quality spicy with soft thick powdery mouthfeel. Chest beats strong limbs heavy mind happy and sleepy.  Candy sweet spice on the breath.

Peace
