This was delicious. I brewed gong fu at 80C on the first infusion and 85C all the other infusions. Sweet & juicy with a bit of fruity flavour. It was a light sheng with no bitterness at all. There was also a slightly creamy mouth feel to it.

Flavors: Creamy, Fruity, Sweet

I’ve never brewed Sheng so cool. Now I’m curious to try that. I tend to go at 90c for the young ones and 95c for aged. (scampers off to experiment)

I have a few sheng that respond well to cooler temperatures. It’s worth trying a few steeps at different temperatures during a session to see what notes come out and which ones get muted.

Bio

Green teas are my favourite teas but I also enjoy: white, some herbal,rooibos, raw pu’erh, light oolongs, a little bit of black , and a little bit of ripe pu’erh. I have moved away from artificial flavourings and there’s hardly anything left in my cabinet with artificial flavouring or colours. It is mostly straight teas or tea blends.
