“Wu Liang Shan” is administratively divided into 13 villages: Guangming (光明村, guāngmíng cūn), Baoping (保平村, bǎopíng cūn), Dean (德安村, déān cūn), Xinzheng (新政村, xīnzhèng cūn), Gude (古德村, gǔdé cūn), Majie (马街村, mǎjiē cūn), Kebao (可保村, kěbǎo cūn), Weiguo (卫国村, wèiguó cūn), Hongxing (红星村, hóngxīng cūn), Fada (发达村, fādá cūn), Baotai (保台村, bǎotái cūn), Heping (和平村, hépíng cūn), Huashan (huàshān cūn).
Kaishunhao sheng pu'er (开顺号, kāishùnháo) is distinguished by its beautiful tea leaves with a sweet, honeyed, floral aroma. When steeped, the moist tea leaves evoke sweet pear, herbal, and mushroom notes. The flavor opens with fruity acidity, woodiness, and compote, then transitions to a tart base with a sweet finish and a hint of mint on the palate.
The aroma of dry tea leaves reveals a vibrant trail of candy-like acidity, camphor-fruity notes, and hints of dried fruit. After washing, the aroma is warm and rich, with fruity undertones, notes of blackcurrant leaves, and touches of ripe blackberry.
The taste is refreshing and dense, moderately sweet. The flavor features a slight bitterness, candied citrus, a hint of blackcurrant, and dried fruit nuances. By the third steeping, the citrus flavor begins to dominate, with a bright but quickly dissolving bitterness.
This pu-erh tea steeps for five times, leaving a light, refreshing aftertaste with a dried fruit aroma, before becoming bitter and astringent. It can be brewed using a gaiwan, a Yixing teapot, or a tea flask. The infusion is clear and transparent, lemon-colored with a golden hue.
The effects of drinking 2018 Wulyangshan sheng pu'er tea from Kaishunhao are quite strong and long-lasting. The tea is a great tonic, improves concentration, sharpens vision, and elevates mood. It also relaxes the entire body, leaving a meditative state with a pleasant, slight giddiness.
Overall, this pu-erh is still in its infancy and requires several years of proper storage, but can already be used to achieve the correct tea state, or as a worthy gift for a lover of high-quality and unique shengs.
