Its flavor still possesses the fruity hues that characterize the teas of this new harvest, here with fragrant notes of cooked pears and marjoram, yet it is neat and harmonious, and such is the case with all pu'er teas from Youle mountain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYoule is situated almost at the center of Xishuangbanna prefecture, nearby the banks of Lancang river. It is part of the \u003cstrong\u003e6 ancient pu'er tea mountains\u003c\/strong\u003e, from which it gets its complexity and roundness. This strategic terroir gives Youle its perfect balance, yet each new harvest adds a special twist to its impartial taste. In spring 2022, abundant rainfalls gave a more mature and fruity taste to the leaves, and while never exceeding in sweetness or astringency, this tea shows a lively frizziness on the tongue, which sweetens and softens in the aftertaste. After few moments, while still contemplating the botanical aroma that lingers in the palate, an unexpected freshness comes to the throat, leaving a balsamic taste of mint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis cake pays homage to the elephants that inhabit Youle and are revered by local minorities, who often see these majestic animals as sacred. The leaves we used to produce this cake always come from the hands of \u003cstrong\u003eZi Bulu and his wife Zhouji\u003c\/strong\u003e, who hand-picked the young buds and the first apical leaves in spring 2022, and handed them to us like a precious heritage, that we pressed by stone in April 2022, waiting to deliver them to the hands of those who will taste its ripe aromas.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eZi Bulu and Zhouji also take an active part in preserving and protecting the land in Yunnan and its animals, and collaborate with a sanctuary for elephants in Youle, to which the land that gifted us this cake truly belongs.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHarvested in Spring 2022 by Zi Bulu and his wife Zhouji.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePressed on April 8th 2022 by Eastern Leaves in Xishuangbanna.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlantation altitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1600 meters\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Yanuo village, \u003c\/span\u003eYoule Mountain, Xishuangbanna, Southwest Yunnan.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFlush:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSpring 2022\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Avoid heat, light, and moisture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInfusion Parameters\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEASTERN BREWING\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eQuantity:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 gr. of tea every 20 ml of water\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRinse:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e before starting the infusion, rinse the leaves with a very fast washing in order to let them rehydrate and release a more intense brew.
