临沧勐库三饼品鉴装
一段窺探勐庫三年春日演變的窗口 — 明亮、蜜甜，且已隱約透出陳化初期的柔軟皮革與乾草氣息。
$105USD · 120 g
我首次踏入這片茶園是在 2022 年晚春，當時雨水過後，老路仍在重修。勐庫深藏於臨滄山脈中，這裡種植大葉種茶已有數百年。山勢陡峭，霧氣濃重，茶葉由此獲得某種明亮感 — 一種蜜般的清澈 — 這是我在他處不曾遇見的特質。
這套組合中的三款壓餅來自一家我信賴的合作社，他們仍以石模壓制小批次茶餅，並在竹棚下緩慢乾燥，絕不使用熱風強制烘乾。2023 年初春乾旱賦予了驚人的濃縮度。2024 年風格較為醇和，甜感平衡。2025 年已展現極大潛力 — 活潑、花香、近乎麝香般的氣息。
我已將每塊茶餅存放於我在烏蘭巴托的自家陳化室，那裡乾冷冬季與涼爽夏季延緩轉化。此地的黑暗、低氧環境 — 與昆明或廣州截然不同 — 讓皮革與穀物香氣提早出現，同時保留一股清新的骨幹。這些樣品數小時前才以真空鋁箔包裝送達，已可隨時入蓋碗沖泡。
若將它們並排品飲，你幾乎能看見從明亮青春到靜謐深沉的路徑。這是一段旅程，我希望你能緩步慢行。
The leaf, brewed
dry leaf
All three cakes show tight, silvery-green leaves with visible buds. 2025 lemon zest, 2024 dried apricot, 2023 a quiet leather and honey note.
wet leaf
Rinsed leaves open generously. 2025 still sharp and grassy; 2024 turning dewy with a hint of steamed milk; 2023 revealing old barnwood and ripe melon.
liquor
Pale gold for 2025, deepening to bright amber in 2023. Clarity is high across all three, with a slight chill haze in the youngest.
aroma
2025: fresh-cut fennel and white grape. 2024: honeycomb and sweet hay. 2023: toasted rice, vanilla husk, and a distant floral rear.
taste
2025 strikes with lively astringency and green apple, then shifts to sugar cane. 2024 is rounder — honey, a trace of almond, mild bitterness. 2023 carries the weight: wet stone, dried longan, a soft, mouth-coating sweetness that crests into gentle cooling.
finish
Huigan builds from the throat: quick and crisp for 2025, slower and deeper for 2023. The oldest leaves a pleasant, lingering mineral coolness that returns with each breath.
Brewing
若要進行並排比對沖泡，請使用三個相同蓋碗。2023 年茶餅醒茶兩次，年輕茶餅醒茶一次。每次注水間讓茶葉靜置十秒。
