This was the first sheng I sampled from this vendor and I feel that it set the bar high for the rest of the productions. This is my favorite of the group for several specific reasons, but also as an overall.
Mouth numbing quality of this tea is very strong and is accompanied by astringent and light smoky/nutty qualities. Great combination of flavors. Clean taste and a thick liquor making for a smooth drink. The tea energy is sufficient, but not overwhelming. The later steeps are that of light fruit tones and soft bitter finish.
Really enjoyed this, and really contemplating buying some of this.

sounds yummy
Very yummy indeed! This one was right up my alley and made the remaining samples from this vendor tough to follow-up.
tough? how?
It set the bar high. I think, partly due to the fact that the profile has some of my favorite characteristics of young sheng. The fact that it was the first sample, out of 5, that I tried was solely coincidence and I wish that maybe I could’ve worked my way through the samples and finished here. I sample to purchase, like most people, and this one was my favorite from the start.
