Spring Flavour and Autumn Flavour
Spring Tea and Autumn Tea always have their own tea taste characteristics. Therefore, there is a saying in the tea industry that “Spring Flavour and Autumn Flavour (春水秋香) are brothers and sisters".
The Spring Flavour (春水) showcases the uniqueness and attractiveness of classic spring tea tastes, which are prominent, outstanding, rich, thick, fresh and complex. This really makes tea lovers being addicted to it.
For the Autumn Flavour (秋香), it highlights the special charming and fascinating Autumn Tea aroma from the autumn tea leaves.
2008 Dayi Spring March - Spring Flavor Raw Tea Cake <801> (Dry Storage - 500g) is exactly the leading spring tea representative from the industry's renowned Dayi (TAETEA) brand echoing the spring part of “Spring Flavour and Autumn Flavour (春水秋香) are brothers and sisters".
2008 Spring Flavor
The tea aroma is rich and plentiful with the thick smooth texture and sensation of spring tea. The tea broth is extraordinary sweet, smooth, thick and “gan” together with a very good aftertaste so that one can feel the internal appealing flavor of spring tea. If you brew the tea seriously, sometimes, it will offer you a very sweet honey taste, which is amazing and attractive. After having a sip of this 2008 Spring Flavor, you will find the aftertaste is so unbelievably long lasting. Cloud believes that this tea will age into a very nice and plentiful aged Puerh tea which is going to be fascinating.

[Puerh Tea Production Reducing After 2007 Speculation]

[Tea Trees Being Well Cultivated in 2008 Resulting Many 2008 Good & Renounced Tea Cakes]

Cloud is of the view that 2008 was a special year for Puerh Tea because there are a lot of renounced teas from this year. This phenomenon is similar to the situation that tea connoisseurs always focus on 1999 famous teas because they are very good in quality. It is the same that the taste of 2008 Puerh teas are good and amazing, generally speaking.
Because of the price collapse of new Puerh tea after speculation in 2007, this resulted in over-supplying and dramatical price drop of 2008 raw tea leaves materials. However, this was good to the quality, which was generally great in 2008, due to the large reduction of demands so that less tea leaves were picked. As a result, this caused the price of 2008 tea leaves materials dropping to an extremely low price. Besides, the low demand also gave room for tea trees to rest and grow great tea leaves which accumulated abundant and plentiful contents and substances for the future great taste.
Cloud must emphasize that it was due to the double effects of special historical and economic reasons (i.e. the price collapse of new tea speculation in 2007 and the financial tsunami in 2008), that was the reason why those 2008 tea cakes were seriously low in price for many years. However, it does not mean that the quality of 2008 Puerh tea is poor. Cloud would like to advise that tea lovers should not judge the 2008 tea quality based upon the price only. Instead, tea connoisseurs and investors should actively discover the treasure tea from those 2008 tea products, which are actually aged with high quality but just selling at the low price.

Storage means the Conditions of the Tea Cakes
“Storage” of Puerh tea always confuses novices. Warehouse means the place for storing stuff or stocks. However, the Dry Storage, Natural Storage and Wet Storage of Puerh tea are not referring to the storage conditions of the warehouse. In fact, Dry, Natural and Wet Storage are the terms for describing the storage status (i.e. ageing condition) of the tea cake itself. In other words, these 3 terms are referring to the degree of wetness of a tea cake. If a tea cake is affected by high humidity, we will describe it as “Wet Storage”. If a tea cake is affected by low humidity, we will describe it as “Dry Storage”.

Health functions of Puerh tea
In the famous Supplement to the Compendium of Materia Medica (《本草綱目拾遺》) written by Zhao Xuemin (1765, the Qing dynasty), Puerh tea was described as "the first choice to refresh people's brain from too much drink, effective in promoting digestion and reducing phlegm, clearing away the stomach-heat and producing the body fluid. In particular, it tastes mild and slightly sweet, good for dispelling fats and detoxification, and promoting inner circulation.”
