#18 Yǐ Bāng Lǎo Chá gushu 2006 sheng puer (倚邦老茶古树）

【Origin Traceability】
💎Originated from the remains of the Yibang Royal Tribute Tea Garden of the ancient six major tea mountains, at an altitude of 1,800 meters in the misty secret realm. The ancient tea trees planted during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty coexisted with wild dendrobiums. The tea roots entrenched in the cracks of the granite have absorbed enough earth energy for three hundred years. The leaves are thick with horseshoe stalks, the strips are twisted like dragon patterns, and the tea polyphenols and pectin are abundant like liquid amber.

【Time Seal】
💎Worm-eye badge: The wormholes scattered on the cotton paper are the seals of the conspiracy between the subtropical monsoon and time - proving the natural storage without chemical fumigation, each hole is the evidence of breathing years;
💎The secret history of the wild warehouse: After being pressed in 2006, it was stored in the Dai stilt-style wooden building, and the bamboo strips were left off the ground for seventeen years. The humidity in the rainy season awakened the enzyme activity, and the dry season dried and condensed the tea bones, naturally transforming into the thick bones of the old raw tea;
💎Ancient method afterimage: The handwritten inner flying ink has been smudged, the stone mill pressed cake hole is as deep as a dragon pool, the loose strips hide the genetic code of the tribute tea process.

【Taste Archaeology】
🍵The moment of opening: the aged aroma mixed with the scent of wild honey breaks through the paper, interspersed with a faint camphorwood aroma, like pushing open a dusty tea warehouse;
🍵The first brew awakens: the soup color is orange-red and translucent like the sunset melting gold, the entrance is thick like the wild mushroom soup that has been boiled for a long time, and a hint of salty and sweet aged plums slides across the tongue;
🍵Three to five brews: the tea aroma is like the morning bell of an ancient temple, and the bitterness turns into rock sugar rhyme and crystallizes in the throat. The cheeks are full of saliva like mint snow, and the cold fragrance at the bottom of the cup condenses into pine smoke ink rhyme;
🍵After ten brews: the soup color turns to honey gold and is still as full as before, with the glutinous sweetness of boiled red dates water, and the bottom of the leaves is fat and tough like old cowhide, which cannot be crushed by fingers.

【Aging Epic】
✅Seventeen years of natural transformation fades away the heat, and the tea is as warm as old jade. The current drinking period is the "mid-life peak" - wildness turns into softness, bitterness turns into sweetness. After another five years of storage, the ginseng fragrance will emerge, and after ten years, the soup will feel thick like rice oil. Every sip is the rebirth of the Yibang Gong tea soul.

[Secret Key to Tasting]
✅1. Tea awakening ceremony: The purple clay pot awakens the tea for seven days, allowing the dormant wild rhyme to reconcile with the urban moisture;
✅2. Weapon list: The old rock mud urgently needs a pot to stimulate the old rhyme, and the Song Dynasty shadow blue porcelain cup observes the golden color of the soup;
✅3. Water temperature mystery: The first five brews are directly poured with boiling water to awaken the tea gall, and after the sixth brew, 95℃ is slowly extracted to extract the remaining sweetness.

[Tea Ceremony Verses]
✅This tea cake with wormholes is the revelation of time to the obsessive -
The damage of cotton paper is the perfect form of the soul, and the blank space of the wormhole is the main text of the story. Drinking it is like doing archaeology: caress the genes of the Qing Dynasty tribute tea with the tip of your tongue, and let the rhyme in your throat salvage the passing time. Real old tea is never afraid of imperfection, because time has already redefined perfection.
