I had a challenging day at work. Came home, looked at my tea stash and thought – I don’t want to make a decision. So I reached into my sample box and randomly pulled one out. When I saw this, my first reaction was ugggggg, and my second was – at least it came from Garret. For those that don’t really know me, let me explain. I want to like sheng, really I do. I keep buying samples, and I keep trying but it seems that the more I fall in love with shou the more I dislike sheng. The vast majority of the ones that I’ve tried have fallen into two categories – really green and bitter or dirty stagnant swamp water. And then I run into one like this……. if all sheng were like this I would drink more of it.
This is fantastic!!!!!!!!! It tastes like sheng…whatever that taste is….. a little green, a little smokey, a little earthy, clean. This one is darker than most I’ve had. It’s pretty sweet, it’s really good. If anyone out there is like me…..not liking the bitter greenness of sheng, I encourage you to try this.
Thank you so much Garret for including this sample in one of my orders.
I really like that sheng,it was one of the first I ever purchased….I have a few put away,ive been contemplating breaking into one as its so good…yum..
I only got a small quantity of it to sample, but I am really enjoying it. I think I can drink it a couple more times. I’m trying to get myself under control & stick with smaller quantities like this, as I always want to buy whole cakes of everything, LOL, & then I store them in my bedroom on the 3rd floor away from the kitchen aromas. Right now I probably already have enough tea up there to drink for the rest of my life…
I know exactly where you’re coming from…there’s no way I could ever drink all of what I have…my son will be the recipient of my tea collection,he will have an appreciation for it as he loves tea too..
Yeah, when I pass away & my kids are going through my stuff, it will be like a bad reality show: hidden boxes of tea everywhere, Journals that date back to college (actually, my daughters will love reading those), not to mention all the sheet music, instruments, & other music related stuff.
terri…give them my address…i’ll take the tea off their hands LOL
LOL!
Hey Sil, do you want a sample of this one?
