This is a very nice young sheng. It brews a light golden color and has a almost no astringency and none of the “smokiness” Xiaguans are noted for. It has a very floral aroma after the first “wash” that transfers to the cup when drinking. It has a sweetness to it that most younger shengs do not have. It is very soft on the tongue and drinks very smooth and nice. The floral and sweetness are the two most upfront flavors of this tea. Very nice and soft for a young sheng. Not recommended for an upfront punchy tea but for those who want a soft calming one to drink this is one to try. The mouth feel and easy drinking have me rating this pretty good fo a young sheng.

Did they send you invite for membership, mrmopar? They ask me now I have to shop thru their site and they give some discounts sometimes 5% more or less. Still nice
Oh yes, I have that membership and its on speed tab on my computer.
You guys are gonna get me in trouble…
I will be in trouble in about 3 days I think. There is a ..ahem “UNNEEDED” order on the way from Yunnan Sourcing….
mrmopar, It’s been 3 days. “Are you still among the living?” Are you in proverbial doghouse?
