2020 (Lincang material) On Taoism Jingyang Golden Flower Fu Zhuan Tea from Orientaleaf gong fu cha

Описание: The video introduces the Taoism Jingyang Golden Flower Fu Brick Tea from Orientaleaf. The speaker initially notes a discrepancy between the website's description of zero bitterness/astringency and their experience, finding the tea slightly astringent if brewed too long (0:25-0:34). They emphasize that the brewing advice on the website (10-15 seconds) is crucial for a pleasant experience, as longer steeps result in a bitter, medicinal taste (0:41-0:53, 13:21-14:06, 15:19-15:45).

The tea is a 150g cake from 2020, making it five years old (2:00-2:08). It is noted for having "golden flower" mold, which is important for the tea's character (4:59-5:02, 7:12-7:16). The speaker mentions that the tea is not very compressed, which is ideal for the mold's growth (5:09-5:22).

Upon brewing, the tea produces a red, Hongcha-like color rather than the expected black tea color (8:01-8:18). It tastes predominantly like red tea, with a dry palate afterward (9:08-9:54). While it lacks the malty, caramel notes of some black teas, it offers a full-bodied and pleasurable drinking experience (12:44-13:18, 20:00-20:02). The speaker highly recommends the tea and expresses excitement to try other variations from Orientaleaf, including their red, yellow, and white tea versions (21:00-21:32). The video also shows the tea raising the speaker's body temperature (20:10-20:12).
