2003 Dayi 7212 Yi Pian Ye (301) Review


The tea brews surprisingly dark and clear, looks promising. The fragrance is aromatic, woody and foresty but not earthy. There are notes of dark fruits and brown sugar, later infusions also reveal a classy aromatic profile.

When it comes to taste, the tea wins my heart right from the first sip. The mouthfeel is silky smooth, thick and refreshing with a bit of bitterness to give structure to the taste. Most of the flavor comes from the amazingly long aftertaste and follows the fruity character of the fragrance. At times the aftertaste seems almost flowery.

So far this has been the best tea from my latest order from Sampletea.com. The 7212 is a nice complex semiaged tea with still some youthful bitterness. Really good now and will probably still keep for years.
