In an effort to like sheng, I brewed this one at half strength to calm the flavors down a bit. It worked a little bit. This one was like light green vegetables and a little sweet, so I’m thinking snow peas or something similar. There were some floral notes as well, but I was distracted by the sheng taste in the background that reminded me of soap.
*Disclaimer: it’s probably not the tea’s fault. I dislike sheng.

Lol, I think it’s definitely a bit of an acquired taste too. I remember the first time I tried YOUNG sheng, I was definitely like there’s some weird petrol-ly reminiscent, strange flavor in here I can’t quite place but is very distinctive… but now I hardly notice it while drinking shengexcept when I’m craving it and feel like many other teas are lacking because they don’t have it, :P.
