The 2009 Dong Ding Qingxin Tanbei, roasted over charcoal by Master Atong Chen , impresses with its round, harmonious aromas, which combine the sweetness of honey, vanilla and wood with warm roasted notes. The very first infusion reveals a subtle minerality, which intensifies with subsequent infusions. The finest nuances of cinnamon and a lingering aftertaste give the tea additional complexity. The roasted notes remain present throughout the infusions and are accompanied by a pleasant sweetness that lasts until the late infusions. In later infusions, surprisingly fruity raisin notes unfold, which cast the tea in a new light.
