I don’t know where I got this tea from. One of my August TTBs I think.

Anyway, I feel like dancing because this is the first time I’ve enjoyed a sheng. Evidence of my changing taste buds I suppose. I liked it so much I brewed it over and over! I think the leaf ratio had something to do with it too. I covered the bottom of my gaiwan with about 2 layers of leaves. The flavour was pleasant, not overpowering. A savoury roasty taste plus some sweetness from the sugar I added.

90 gaiwan
~200F
5 steeps: Rinse, 5s, 10s, 15s, 25s, 35s

Preparation
3 OZ / 90 ML

This was one of the first pu-erh teas that I got really excited about. It wound up being the first beeng that I purchased as well.

Wow, a whole beeng? That’s like 7 cakes right?

Dr Jim

OK I messed up the terminology. What I meant was a cake.
