I got 7g sample with my recent order.
I havent had many aged sheng due to it usually very expensive. So glad i got a chance to try.
Let me just say i enjoyed it a lot. Dark burgundy soup, no funky smell, tastes clean,almost like shou but not quite. still slight bitterness on a background showing true raw nature.
It is sweet, has notes of good quality leather and dried persimmons. some beet root but not overpowering.
i expect to brew it at least 3 days. this kind of tea usually is very durable. will see.
If i ever win a lottery ticket i know exactly what im going to buy after giving some portion to a charity of course ;D

do you have any middle eastern markets nearby? also i think this tea used to be smoky. some smoke showed up on a second day. i still hoard leaves, its bright orange now. lotsa flavor. if only i could afford it. sigh…
Gosh – I see what you mean about the colour! It is really dark :O
i made pics in a sun. inside of my house it was much darker
Even so, you can still really see the depth of the colour of the tea. Looks really excellent :D
I like this tea too. Now I must find a dried persimmon…
