’20 Starfruit

Experience Mansong, the hallmark of Yibang village, with a flavor profile that captivates from the first sip. The tea bursts with an intense Jolly Rancher nose, delivering bright, fruity, and playful aromas. A citrusy vibe reminiscent of starfruit and yellow passion fruit adds refreshing complexity.

The aftertaste stays lively, weaving together bitterness, caramelized sugar, and moderate astringency, while a lingering moss impression grounds the experience. Mansong’s character contrasts distinctly with the broader Yiwu terroir, yet its personality resonates with Jingmai’s accessibility.

Crafted with modern processing, this production minimizes bitterness without sacrificing vitality or balance. Age has softened the once‑garish green tone, leaving a clean, bold tea with medium body. The balance of astringency and bitterness makes Mansong ideal for both gong‑fu sessions and grandpa brewing.  Kunming stored; light humid storage in Los Angeles since Jan ’24.
