From the Sheng and Shou TTB.
This is good shou. Smooth, clean, with caramel and cocoa notes. I really liked it. If I hadn’t already found some other good shou, which I plan to buy, for half the price, I would consider getting this. As it is, the two other 357g cakes should keep me busy. ;)

I still left this one on my wishlist, even though I didn’t order it this time. ;) There’s always next time!!
I can send you a sample if you need to refresh / revisit @tealizzy
JC, would you like a sample ? I would love to send it your way
boychik – Thanks for the offer. I know I like it, but didn’t want to spend the money on that much shou this order. I’d definitely consider getting it later. I’ve been really bad lately! Btw, let me know what I can send you from my stash!!! :)
No pressure, just sometimes I need a second try . How much did you use for the session? If I use more for shou it’s richer and lasts longer. So now I like 8g for 1oo-120 ml pot. Tastes like chocolate pudding
richer, not bitter. you can increase the amount rinse/pause/ and start from flash steeps. see how you like it. increasing the time slowly. next time do 6g for 100. see how you like it
Hmmm to the wishlist
JC, i love 2011 Hui Run, i havent tried 2013 yet. very thick consistency.

I think I only used 5g, but that’s my usual amount for shou. It doesn’t get bitter at 8?

Tealizzy,

Sounds like a good value. Which shou are they?
