Feng Huang Wo (Phoenix’s Nest) raw puer tea cake has a honey-sweet aroma and a strong, intense taste. The drink is a dream in a cup, sweet, smooth and fragrant. The leaves in this cake were harvested in the Yiwu tea area, an area located in the Yunnan region.
Tasting – Sight and smell
Feng Huang Wo puer sheng tea cake Feng Huang Wo has very long and fragrant leaves of brown, green and bronze hues and is very rich in golden buds. Once infused, they give off sweet and fruity aromas of pear, beeswax, honey and incense. The liquor, a deep amber gold, reveals a medium-soft body on the palate, surprisingly free of astringency.
Tasting Notes
GONG FU CHA
The first infusion of puer sheng Feng Huang Wo tea yields a sweet and delicate liquor: we find again the hints of beeswax already perceptible on the nose and wildflower honey. With the second infusion, fruity notes of caramelized pear and light hints of incense emerge, which tends to almost disappear with the third infusion, remaining barely perceptible and evolving into delicate hints of resin. Sweet, fruity notes also return, enveloping the palate and lingering pleasantly.
WESTERN
With the first sip of puer sheng Feng Huang Wo tea, the sweet and fruity notes characteristic of this tea emerge, reminiscent of pear nectar and quince jam. After this initial sweetness, hints of incense and a light, pleasant savoriness arrive, followed again by sweet notes of honey and beeswax. It is the sugary and fruity notes that linger, enveloping the palate for a long time even after the last sip.
Place of origin
Yiwu, Yunnan, China
How to prepare
We strongly recommend infusing Feng Huang Wo sheng puer tea in the traditional Chinese method (gong fu cha) to enjoy these leaves at its best. Following this preparation, 5 grams of leaves (about 4 teaspoons) can be used in a gaiwan of about 150 ml to make several infusions with different tastes. After a quick rinsing of the leaves in water at 90 ° C you can proceed to a first infusion of 20 seconds and, then, keeping the water at the same temperature, you can proceed by increasing each time the time of 5 seconds compared to the previous infusion (20 – 25 – 30 …).
This tea has a longevity of about 8 infusions.
For a classic preparation in the Western style, we recommend 2.5 grams of leaves (just under 2 teaspoons) in a 200-mL cup with water at 90°C for an infusion time of 2 1/2 minutes.
The tea can be filtered for greater ease at the moment of tasting, and also the infusion times indicated above are intended to be purely indicative, so you can also adjust according to your personal taste.
It is recommended to store Feng Huang Wo sheng puer tea in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
