Last review on the 22/05/2020
This tea is syrupy, sweet and creamy with some almond aftertaste. The mouthfeel of this tea is great. A very tasty tea. It does show some slight astringency which allows this tea to reveal nuts and spices flavours. Initially it had a persistent bitterness but it has since almost totally disappeared.
This is a Spring tea made from ancient tea trees (Gushu).

4.7g, 140 mL, gongfu, brita water, temps of 180-190f (which I thought was right for shengs oops but apparently ~200f is better?)
Dry leaves no special notes that I can tell of
Infusion has a slightly vegetal smell
Wet leaves smell like wet leaves of white tea
Taste is similar to a less sweet white tea mixed with green tea (astringent?) notes
Nice slightly lingering aftertaste, not particularly sweet initially, but pleasantly refreshing, that involves into something subtly sweet and a bit minty even
Longer infusions now
Wet leaves smell of mint
Tastes more like a green tea now, with infusions having a more drying mouth feel but similarly pleasant
Flavors: Green, Mint, Sweet
