九九首批易昌號系列 野生易武茶中的標杆茶

---

九九首批易昌號系列，是公認的早年野生易武標杆茶。此系列有宋體和篆體兩個包裝版本，每個版本又按極品、精品、正品三個等級排序，所以首批九九易昌號共有六款茶，被美譽為「99易昌號一條龍」。

九九首批易昌號系列，用料等級甚高，採用特製配方的粗枝大葉，正如早年勐海茶廠的8582青餅，陳化後的滋味口感更加迷人。由於生產初期條件有限，成品重量並不均勻，從330到390克都有，茶餅大小不等，重量不均，反而成了這款茶的一大特色。

經歷了20多年的陳化，茶餅烏潤油亮，條索肥碩粗壯，脈絡清晰，充分彰顯出野生易武茶的氣勢。茶湯栗紅透亮，金圈掛杯明顯，口感稠厚飽滿，水質活潑生動，茶湯中的茶香在口腔內聚而不散，香揚水柔。野性十足之餘，也秉承了易昌號的優雅特質。

The first batch of the Yi Chang Hao series from 1999 is recognized as a benchmark for early wild Yiwushan tea. This series features two packaging versions—regular and seal script—with each version categorized into three grades: Ji Pin, Jing Pin and Zheng Pin. Thus, the first batch of the 1999 Yi Chang Hao includes six types of tea, affectionately dubbed the "99 Yi Chang Hao One Dragon."

The first batch of 99 Yi Chang Hao series uses high-quality raw materials, employing a specially formulated blend of coarse stems and large leaves, similar to the early Menghai Tea Factory's 8582 Raw Tea Cakes. The aged flavour becomes even more enchanting over time. Due to limited production conditions during its early years, the product weight of the cakes varies, ranging from 330 to 390 grams with differing sizes which has become a distinctive feature of this tea. 

After more than 20 years of aging, the tea cakes exhibit a glossy and oily appearance with thick and robust strands clearly showcasing the grandeur of wild Yiwushan tea. The tea liquor is a bright chestnut colour with a noticeable golden ring on the cup, offering a rich and full-bodied sensation. The lively water quality enhances the tea's aroma which gathers in the mouth without dissipating, resulting in a fragrant and smooth. While it is wild and expressive, it also retains the elegant characteristics of Yi Chang Hao raw tea.
