Hello, hello, hello…. Is anybody in there?
Broken Steepster is not much fun.
I had this one yesterday. This is a really nice young sheng. The first cup is almost subdued. Sure it is slightly bright like raw sheng tends to be but not in an overpowering way. It is slightly mineral and slightly mushroom, yet neither are strong or offensive. Crisp, I think fits this nicely. The aftertaste really hangs on and seems floral to me. The second cup has a bolder but similar flavor. I detect some hints of leather. The third is the brightest, with an almost puckering bitterness. Cup four returns to a much milder cup with apricot notes. The aftertaste lingers and changes from cup to cup. It starts floral then seems more like a tieguanyin. By cup four it has a combination of both. These have all been about 8 oz cups. I have no idea how far it will go but it shows no signs of letting up. Very nice. Thank you Teavivre for this lovely sample.

I’m there :) Nice to see the Dashboard’s activity back – I loved this one too.
I am here! Are you the one that knocks? Steepster must still be buggy – people can’t seem to find my follow-profile-button ;)
Opportunity knocks. I just barge right in and click the follow buttons. I’m a natural born button pusher. Hope we are up and running for real for a long while.
i’m annoyed still at the forum pages not refreshing properly and the 50 notifications coming through all about the same thing lol
I agree. I so need a forum fix.
