The BZ Peacock a darkly complex Xinghai production, resting rather uncomfortably amidst its Tobacco Class kin. Mesquite and pine ash impart a blazing wood character evocative of tequila. Within there’s some bitterness, black pepper, and petrol.
Let there be no doubt, BZP is a bully. Even the Puerh Junky cowers in its presence. Its storage has predominantly been Menghai dry stored under warm conditions allowing for adequate transformation but without any hints of humidity. Qi, with this production that has appreciated considerably in the past three years, is paralyzing, conveying a sufficiently old tree character.
Descending from Menghai Factory (dubbed factory #2), Xinghai is highly regarded in Mainland. 2022 marked its 20th Anniversary. Consists of old tree Banzhang village proper (班章正寨老树）material, from the altitude of 1700 meters. Batch #601. Stored in Los Angeles since May ’20.
