Outstanding Quality!

This raw buddy blew my mind! Already the bouquet of those steaming leaves is hard to place. It is so unique that at first your mind starts to figure out what it is but you definitely know one thing from the start “This is going to be amazing!” – This raw young Sheng is so masterfully composed I think the best I had so far (now this fellow climbed

up to be number one for now) – it is so unbelievably silky soft sweet with an aroma of vanilla pudding and beeswax – also taste-wise this buttery soft silky texture unfolds in such sweet deliciously flavors of buttery bakery sweets, bourbon vanilla pudding notes, milky honey-ish fine layers and floral herbal notes of ginkgo (maidenhair tree), blackberry leaves but also actual blackberries and camomile! Wow! I just got an epiphany what its taste reminds me of – there is a certain Portuguese warm sweet made of vanilla pudding and flaky pastry called Pastéis de Nata – this stuff is highly addictive as this Sheng is too and this aroma and taste is one of its kind! Even steeping it for a longer time (around 40/50 seconds) those not make it bitter! This Sheng is highly highly MASSIVELY recommendable!

Bio

Ahoi,

I am a tea taster and tea-blog author from Vienna. Since my early Childhood days I was always drawn to East Asian culture especially China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. It wasn’t a thing I discovered because of my parents or my environment – it was a thing that started on its own and spread its antennas into nearly every direction what Asian culture could deliver.

I felt in love with their history, movies, Tv-Shows, food, Anime, Videogames, tea culture – nearly everything. 2009 was the first time I visited Japan – it was a feeling of finally being home. Since that time I developed such a passion for tea because tea combines so many aspects I love. Taking photos, writing, Asian culture, the connection to mother nature and its history, the love for craftsmanship (Teaware etc).

Within 2013 I started my teablog called ZeroZen(https://zeroteazen.wordpress.com/) – the first couple of years I only posted content in my mother language German. But within 2016 I discovered Instagram for myself and found the perfect medium for my artistic output which is now completely and exclusive in English ^___~
