About Golden Disk
Golden Disk (Jinbing) is a very rare, aged Yellow tea cake. Only one thousand of these cakes have ever been made!
This is the type of tea that money cannot buy, unless you're from Sophie's. For the most part, teas like Golden Disk are only sold in China to tea shop owners. Shop owners will give teas like this to loyal customers.
Drinking Experience
You should note the light and sweet aroma of Golden Disk when you first smell it.
If brewed properly, the tea liquor should look gold, as the name suggests.
Golden Disk tastes like it smells: light and sweet. You should also pick up on slightly floral notes as well. This is a very subtle tea. Note the smooth mouthfeel that makes Golden Disk easy to drink.
After you finish your cup, you should be left with a slightly sweet aftertaste.
