My first experience with “purple tea.” I quite enjoyed this. It’s very mellow, but still holds a decent tobacco like note to it. I give it abit of a more heavy hand my second time brewing this, and to my enjoyment it added to it’s complexity. This Sheng has a nice soupy viscosity, and distinct mouthfeel, added flavor notes are mango and rosewater. I enjoyed this, may need to aged a few more years to really bring out something spectacular but, for it’s affordable price, it’s well worth it.

Flavors: Bitter Melon, Cut Grass, Mango, Rose, Toasty, Tobacco
