This is a strong and bittersweet sheng. It had a strong bitter note for the first six steeps with a sweet note behind it. It developed into a nice sweet sheng although I don’t know if I would use the word apricots. It was very good overall.
I steeped this ten times in a 75ml teapot with 5g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, and 1 minute.
