From Old Ways Tea

Shi Ru, also known as Stone Milk, is an interesting variety known for its creamy and smooth fragrance. The cultivar is said to originate in Hui Yuan Keng. This year is much like the last; the tea has an instant presence in the mouth and enticing fragrance. I find that slightly shorter steeps suit this tea best.

Unique in a good and bad way. I got the 2021 harvest of this tea from my OWT order, and this tea was in a way, somewhat disappointing. Wonderful, rich and potent wet leaf and empty cup aroma paired with a decent liquor and dry leaf, this tea had my hopes up at first. A better than average texture I feel, smooth but uninteresting, accompanied by a decent aftertaste and a nice, warming cha-qi. However, this tea had a flavour that while unique, lighter and more creamy & citrusy than most yanchas, it just lacked potency and nuance in a way that I expect a yancha to have. It also lacked much finish, character, and had a horrendous steep longevity, dying out at steep 7. Not a great first Shi Ru experience, to be honest.
