It delivers what White2Tea promotes with this shou. After a wash (20 sec., 100° C) this tea was made in a mug (grandpa style). The sweetest shou I ever had with creamy tones like cookie batter, vanilla pudding, wood and little fermented notes. 5-6g and this had still a light body, so I would guess it’s not made for Gong Fu. Later on minerality shines through. The last sips (as it is more concentrated at the bottom of the mug) show more classical earthy notes with a bit cocoa and mushroom.
All in all a sweet and light shou, but a bit one-dimensional. A crowdpleaser or when you don’t want to ponder about your tea while drinking.
