Yay, my first sheng pu’erh or young pu’erh. A beginner tea for a beginner. After “waking up” the very sleepy leaves with the recommended 3 steeps, I got a wonderful floral (jasmine, as described) aroma off of the cup. I then burned my lip trying to taste it too soon. All in the line of duty.
Flavors: Delicately sweet fresh green pea, soybean, jasmine, wildflower honey, caramel…
Taking a break to smell it again. Ack! Smells so good.
Ok, more flavors: Daisies, white grapes, hibiscus … I don’t even know. I’m making it up now based on things that are also this delicious.
Flavors: Floral, Jasmine, Peas
