This sheng continues its journey and by now produces a distinctly orange-coloured liqour. In its taste, there is still some grassiness, but fairly subdued. Today I noted a more nutty profile with mild fermentation tartness, pepperiness (like rocket) as well as notes of oregano, pear, walnuts and grass seeds. Its aftertaste is nicely warming, which is interesting to see in a young tea like this one.

Have you had this since it was released?

Indeed, it’s one of the few cakes I got without sampling and I’m definitely not regretting I did :)

It’s also one of my few blind cakes and I’ve had it since release. Haven’t drank it yet, though. Maybe I should so we can compare notes over time :)

Oh, no, I misspoke. I have more than a few blind cakes :3

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
