Sweet peat and honey nose. Minerality mixed with light aged notes. Floral bitterness forthrightly present, resonating mushrooms, green melon, and flowers in the huigan. Active in cheeks. A creeper: friendly honey broth with hints of rose transform to a feisty bitter huigan with a real attack upon the blade of the tongue and tweak of cheeks. It almost wants to taste like dianhong, but there’s an overlay of vanilla along with light peat that dianhong doesn’t have. Moderate viscostity and moderately building qi felt mostly in the brain. Probably Fengqing, Lincang and Hekai, blend. Stored in LA since May ’21. 100g. Insta
Six Famous Tea Mountains began production in 2002. Like many, founder Ruan Dianrong (1968- ) has Menghai TF connections. However, Ms Ruan’s four-year stint dealt mostly with establishing production standards and marketing. Her role in helping Menghai/Dayi and puerh more broadly develop a consumer base cannot be underestimated, being the first to establish commemorative cakes, puerh tea art, connect Menghai with puerh in the minds of consumers, set up Dayi branches throughout China, promote tea tourism, and to publish on puerh through major Beijing publishing houses.
