Took this to work with thoughts of drinking an aged sheng all day.
Rather surprised by the dark brew of this was while walking back to my desk. What I like about this tea is how long you can brew it to provide a stronger taste of old earth; in the sense of grassy earth and not dirt like earth, if you know what I mean.
A mild lingering taste in the mouth with an upfront sensation on the lips which is somewhat similar to mint. This is not the kind of sheng that I prefer, but I can appreciate how enjoyable this is for what it is. Ideally this would be an enjoyable sheng during the colder months because it does have a bit of warmth to it and I like that.
This is probably a great candidate to wet store because I can tell the earthy notes from this after time would become better and better.
i rarely get to try really old puerh
that reminds me, i should save for some
