This was one of my first batch of YS Sheng samples, and probably my favourite.
Wet leaves smelt appetising, slightly meaty & sweet.
1st steep a bit oily, vegetal like green beans, a bit bitter, spicy wood on the finish. 2nd steep : on the nose remarkably floral, honeysuckle, Jasmine. Palate richer, sweeter, more oily. Still some astringency. I get why this rocks now. 3rd very bitter… Why? Went 5 steeps, became more balanced with vegetal notes still and more huigan. Ran out of time to fully explore this superb Sheng.
Not sure I could stretch to a whole cake now it’s $77, but would happily split one.
