A little bit disappointed with this one, especially after having enjoyed the little sheng cake that came with it. It’s a very pretty cake, and it smelled just fine – a bit malty mostly. Unfortunately, once I started brewing it, I kept getting a slightly bitter soapy flavor that dominated some of the nicer malty notes underneath it. I might give this a try with less leaf or cooler water or something. Even if it’s better that way, I think it’s safe to say I’d have preferred a 100g cake of the sheng ;)
