’06 Silver Pekoe
Price range: $45.60 through $76.00
Deep tones, tippy, sweet medicinal.
A touch of moderate humidity gives this ’06 Silver Pekoe its signature tippy camphor, a cooling lift that rises immediately from the cup. Compression sits at a comfortable middle point for a tuo—firm enough to age well, loose enough to open quickly in the pot.
The wet‑leaf aroma pops with deep, sweet medicinal tones, calling to mind herbal cough drops or the layered sweetness of Italian liqueurs like Galliano or amaro. The session carries a pleasing measure of depth and complexity, with an aggressive mouthfeel that grips the palate before releasing into a cooling, camphor‑driven finish.
Made from Wuliang material and produced under the Tulin brand, a lineage tied to Xiaguan’s classic style, this tuo shows the mountain’s clean strength and resinous character. Since settling in Los Angeles storage in ’19, it has developed clarity and definition without losing the warmth imparted by its earlier, slightly humid phase.
For drinkers who appreciate medicinal sweetness, camphor lift, and assertive structure, ’06 Silver Pekoe delivers a bold, satisfying mid‑aged experience with room for continued evolution.
