This is a truly excepectional sheng with strong floral aroma across many infusions and superb meditative cha qi.
I was fortunate enough to have received a 10g as a gift of this rare, expensive tea.
before reading about it or knowing what it was, I dropped half of these dark, long, substantial leaves and iridescent buds in a standard competition tasting set.
Set and setting could not have been better: alone on a quiet evening by the fireplace, following a meditation session.
Heavenly fragrance, mostly floral yet also fruity emanating from the wet leaves.
I happily went through about 7 infusions, 10-20 seconds each, each time amazed that the aroma is still strong. Soft, gentle tea. evokes a calm and serene state of being.
Being a young sheng it was a bit drying to the mouth, and I had mild stomach ache for about 10 min.
I awoke refreshed and took the remaining tea to the office, where after reading the description of this tea, and its price, I proceeded to brew it countless times to make the most of these precious leaves.
I am very glad to have another session left of this heavenly sheng. It is by far the most intensly floral pu er I have tried, and evokes a very nice state of being.
