This Zheng Yan tea from Cindy Chen was baked 4 times over charcoal to achieve a medium baking level. Harvested from a single old tree within the Wuyi Scenic Area, this is a rare tea that offers a smokey and peppery dark chocolate flavor with ripe fruits and minerals. The flavor lingers several minutes. It has been aged dry for 3 years.
Velice zajímavý a kvalitní lisovaný čaj z málo známé oblasti Čang-pching. Tento oolong byl ručně sklizený v zahradě u vesnice Nan-jang a tradičněji zpracovaný, čím se myslí zejména vyšší stupeň fermentace, silnější pečení na dřevěném uhlí a lisování. Tento tradiční způsob lisování byl kdysi v provincii Fu-ťien celkem běžný – pamětníci tvrdí, že se tak před několika desetiletími vyráběla dokonce i Tchie Kuan-jin v An-si.

„In some ways, by doing so you’re basically cupping the tea without cupping it – you’re testing whether or not the tea is good for your style of brewing. Even then, however, a good tea drinker should be adjusting to the tea and trying to brew it as best s/he can, which means that the first try can come out horribly wrong.“
