The 2023 Yongde Gushu Maocha develops fresh sage notes and a cooling effect on the tongue, accompanied by an elegant, gentle bitterness that becomes milder with each infusion. At lower temperatures, the tea reveals intense peach and grape notes, while at higher temperatures a fine note of citrus zest and a subtle astringency develop. The texture is soft and pleasantly tingling, and the tea remains surprisingly mild even with long infusion times. Particularly noteworthy is the strong Cha Qi, which provides lasting energy and mental clarity.
