Brews a light gold, noticeably less green in smell and taste than the 2016 shengs I’ve been drinking.
The taste is moderately sweet and the mouthfeel is moderately thick, slight bitterness. Flavors of sugarcane, green wood, white grapes, pine, heart of palm, and a mild peachyness. Overall pretty nice, though not my favorite from YS’s collection.
Flavors: Green Wood, Peach, Pine, Resin, Sugarcane, White Grapes

I liked it quite a bit too! Hard to pick a favorite, but I think I’d go with the 2016 Shan Hou… that one really did it for me.
Love the Qing Mei Shan. What would you put up as your favorite YS production?

The 2014 QMS is almost an entirely different tea.
Interesting, I’ll have to try it
The 2015 one is evolving for sure. It’s becoming more fruity with that dry white wine grape-y-ness.
