This is my very first review in Steepster. I was impressed enough with this tea to come and start logging the experience.

It’s part of a limited batch that’s sold out, I got a 20g sample I’m splitting in 3 sessions. 125cc zisha and 95c-ish water, 20 sec first steep then adjusting as I progress.

It’s a fantastic young sheng as it is. Large, whole leaves that make for a light yellow honeyed translucid soup with noticeable viscosity.

Taste is sharp, with notes of citrus, bitter almonds, watercress, moss. Aroma is mostly orange skin. Aging should take the edge off of it and balance them, but not that I’m complaining as they are now… Controlled bitterness, a bit of astringency and a lot of body. Good huigan aftertase.

Qi: pleasantly stimulant. Drinking this one on an empty stomach may result in getting tea drunk.

Flavors: Almond, Citrus, Wet Moss
