Sipdown Unknown Sheng from Grandpa Tong (?)
I’ve been a way for a while, but be ready for some backlogs. lol. My wife needed the laptop during work, so it sat at her office for a bit, until her new one arrived.
I really ought to write labels for my teas, but I’ve only realized this now, after 8 years in the tea game. This unknown sheng is absolutely stunning. I knew it was prior to dipping into the remaining 10gs, but I forgot a lot of the notes that jump around during the session.
Dry leaf: apricots, brown sugar,
Wet leaf: plums and black licorice.
Flavor: First few steeps, I noted peaches, pears, plums. I got lost in the the steeps between 4-15. I noted in my notebook (and transferred to IG and here): “An endless session of some of the unknown sheng (acquired in 2018ish?). Astounding longevity. I thought I’d’ve been done with this after an hour in, but I’m still going at 15. Plums & peaches. Sugary sweet on the nose.”
Bonus Poem Entry:
Liquid sugar,
Plum galore,
Keep it steeping,
I want more.

Short and sweet poetry :)
@derk- oftentimes, short and sweet is all that’s necessary.
