Flavor Profile
The 2004 XiaGuan "Fang Cha" delivers a layered and dynamic flavor experience. A honey-like sweetness intertwines with delicate floral notes, creating an inviting fragrance that defines the tea's fresh state. Distinct smoky undertones, a signature characteristic of XiaGuan teas, add depth and warmth to the palate. The tea liquor is bright and clear, indicative of its high-quality craftsmanship and proper storage. Its smooth Huigan—a refreshing returning sweetness—lingers pleasantly after each sip, enhancing the overall experience. Though some bitterness is present, it is more pronounced than the subtle astringency and fades quickly to reveal a lasting sweet aftertaste.
Mouthfeel & Aging
The tea delivers a smooth and lasting mouthfeel, making it enjoyable across multiple infusions. Having been naturally stored in Guangzhou, it has matured gracefully, deepening its complexity and enriching the overall experience.
