This morning I am drinking a sample here I got from a friend… the 2nd time I’ve had it in the last couple of weeks.
It’s interesting the different type of flavors you get from sheng. Compared to a smoky, sour tea like a Xiaguan, this is much more mellow and more of an every day drinking tea for most people. I’m getting the sweetish/brown sugary notes, with a definite bittersweet flavor in the finish. I’ve tended to like the “Yiwu” shengs I’ve had in the past. I like the more relaxing energy I am getting from this. Not sure how to rate this one right now.
Seriously tempted to buy some but why is TeaUrchin shipping so expensive? $20 flat rate for China Post airmail? Seems like a lot if you are ordering something small.

It is a harsh price, especially after paying those prices! lol. But I do have to say that they package their teas really well, if that makes the difference.
Now I am curious How do they package them?
You get the cake packed carefully in a nice storage box. They do package well and they usually toss an extra “goodie” in there.
yeah! I agree that the price is high, but they have to be the best out there when it comes to how intact the cakes arrive.
