The tea leaves are tightly compressed, dark brown with noticeable golden tips, and clean. Upon smelling the dry tea, there are no off odors. For the tasting, 8g of tea was brewed in a 120ml white porcelain gaiwan, without using a strainer. The teapot was warmed and the tea leaves were rinsed twice, with each infusion brewed immediately after pouring water, allowing around 5 minutes between infusions.
| Infusion | Liquor Color | Flavor and Aroma | Mouthfeel and Aftertaste |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Infusion | Deep reddish, bright | Strong aroma with a honey-sweet fragrance; classic aged Pu-erh scent with a subtle sweetness | Smooth and full-bodied, with a clear aged tea taste and sweet aftertaste |
| Second Infusion | Dark red, slightly less bright | Soft and mellow with lingering sweetness | Clean mouthfeel, refreshing aftertaste with slight salivation |
| Third Infusion | No change | Smooth and slightly sweet with mild astringency; a touch of bitterness followed by a gentle aftertaste | Refreshing and light, with a slightly thicker and more full-bodied texture |
| Fourth Infusion | Rose red (in light) | Sweet initially, followed by slight bitterness and roughness, transitioning to a pleasant sweet aftertaste | Warm sensation on the upper palate, leaving a subtle energy |
| Fifth to Sixth Infusion | Dark red, consistent | Richer aged woody fragrance, mellow with slightly sweet aftertaste, hint of astringency | Still strong flavor, with no watery taste even after extended brewing |
