I spent the whole afternoon/evening with this little gem. It was a freebee with some stuff I bought in a stash sale.
Lots of thick body and a finish that coats the tongue in delicious syrupy sweetness.
I went Gongfu and have so far steeped 8 times, from 30 seconds up to about 2 minutes. The 8.5g ball yielded plenty of flavors. Most are grassy and “brassy?” (tinny) even. There’s a bitterness but it is not astringent or unpleasant and the sweet finish always wins out.
Sharp and strong notes and overall super pleasant to drink. I would consider more Mengsong Sheng in the future.
