2014 HK Dry Storage Dayi Peace Tuo (100g)

Description

I bought two of these tuos just over two years ago from Hong Kong's official Dayi dealer, and have aged them at home (not in the cans they came in, which contained moisture absorber packs)! These have aged beautifully and taste quite a bit different from V93 or 7572. I get interesting nutty notes from the dry leaf in the pot, but the actual liquor tastes of milk chocolate, jujube and nuts. This tea is very clean and there is not a trace of visible mold on the tuo. The Hong Kong home storage has made this tea very easy to break up as well. This tea has been stored on the 55th and 37th floors in my homes by the water here on Lantau, Hong Kong's largest island!

I also found this tea very calming. I'm not sure if that is just because it is newer Dayi shu, or it has something to do with the environment in my home (or both!), but this tea is really relaxing and I don't feel any negative caffeine effects from drinking this tea whatsoever.

I'm only offering one of these for sale since I only have the two (I want the other one for myself)! This is lovely material and I don't think any other dealer is aging these outside the tin, which is a bit of a shame. I hope to get more of these to age as I really like the way they've turned out!

Brewing suggestion: Full boil, with water of low hardness (15-35 mg/L, with 1-3mg/L of magnesium). Rinse twice, and start with 10-15 second infusions for the first two or three infusions, then add 10-15 seconds to each successive infusion. If the liquor is too weak, add more time.

Please note: No volume discounts are available on this tea! I only have one tuo for sale at this time!
