Sheng Yiwu snob alert!!!! This Sheng is from Yunnan Sourcing and the tea comes from wild arbor trees between 200 and 300 years old. As for the tea, Yunnan Sourcing’s website says it much better than I can: “…the tea soup is a bright yellow-gold and clear, the aroma is penetrating and the tea is full in the mouth. The flavor is textured and thick with a strong and vegetal taste . This is one of the more smooth and aromatic of the Yi Wu area teas, but its still got a fair amount of bitterness and long-lasting huigan that stimulates the mouth and throat long afterwards.” The kuwei and huigan are perfectly balanced and there is just a slight hint of astringency that is the perfect compliment to the two. This an excellent Sheng!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been a tea drinker almost all of my life. In 2008 I was able to accompany my wife to a conference she had in Shanghai. At one of the dinners I was introduced to the Nectar of the Gods – Pu’er and I have been hooked ever since.
