Cultivar: Cultivar No 2028

Harvested by hand: April 10th, 2023

Origin: Pinglin, Wenshan region.

Process: Lightly oxidized Baozhong, twisted, no stems, well dried.

1. View

The dry leaves are dark green. The open leaves are quite dark green also. They show some oxidation signs on the edges. The brew has a green/yellow hue with a good shine. The open leaves don't look very nice. This year's harvest was very challenging, due unfavorable weather conditions (too dry), which resulted in a drastic volume reduction.

2. Scents

The dry scents have some light scents of wood and forest with its various green plants. The brew has high notes of flowers that mingle with deep subtropical forest fragrances.

3. Taste

The taste is nicely sweet. The aftertaste is well balanced. 

Conclusion: Anybody can make good Baozhong when the conditions are ideal, but it takes a lot of skill and experience to be able to achieve this quality level in such a difficult season for Wenshan Baozhong!
