2024 Gold Award "Tea King" Ancient Tree Raw Pu-erh (200g)

Key Flavor Profile—**Bitterness Transforming into Sweetness:** The initial taste is noticeably bitter and impactful, yet the bitterness dissipates rapidly, giving way to an overwhelming, intense, and lingering sweetness (*hui gan*) accompanied by a profuse flow of saliva. **Rich and Full-Bodied:** The tea liquor is robust and substantial, offering a smooth yet weighty mouthfeel; it is highly durable across multiple infusions and delivers a deeply satisfying sense of fullness. **Deep, Refined Aroma:** The fragrance is rich and complex; beyond the immediate, overt notes, there is an understated "aroma infused in the liquor" (*shui han xiang*), where the scent and liquid are seamlessly integrated—revealing, upon careful tasting, hints of floral honey, orchid, or plum. **Clear, Luminous Liquor:** The liquor of fresh tea typically displays a bright, limpid orange-yellow or golden hue, while aged tea presents a deeper, reddish, and more mellow appearance.
