Appearance & Flavor Profile
1. Visual Appearance
● Cake Surface: The cake is plump and rounded, with moderate compression. The strips are thick and robust, with a glossy dark green color. Bud tips are visible (golden young buds sprinkled throughout), showcasing its noble quality.
● Liquor Color: When brewed, the tea liquor is golden yellow, clear and bright, translucent like a gem.
- Taste Notes
● Aroma: A delicate, natural orchid fragrance interwoven with a rich honey aroma. The scent is subtle yet long-lasting.
● Texture: Extremely smooth and sweet on the palate, with almost no bitterness. The tea liquor is delicate and full-bodied, wrapping the tongue like silk.
● Aftertaste: After drinking, a lasting sweetness remains in the mouth and throat, known as the “rock sugar finish,” leaving an unforgettable lingering taste.
Easy Brewing:
Follow these steps to enjoy a royal experience:
1. Vessel: It is recommended to use a white porcelain gaiwan (to best showcase the aroma) or a glass cup.
2. Temperature: Use boiling water at 100°C.
3. Rinsing the Tea: Quickly pour in boiling water and discard within 5 seconds. This step awakens the sleeping tea leaves and removes surface dust.
4. Brewing:
○ First 3 Infusions: Brew briefly (5-10 seconds) and savor its orchid fragrance.
○ Middle to Later Infusions: You can slightly extend the steeping time (15-30 seconds). Mang Song tea is very durable and can be brewed more than 15 times, with each infusion offering a different flavor.
