Now this is a really interesting tea. I am working through a set of samples from Puerhshop.com and I’ve been steeping through them. Some I have to go back to, but this one really turned my head.
I took the first sip and thought I must be drinking an oolong! This has a much different flavor profile from many young shengs. Instead of apricots and smoke, I got more floral notes. It didn’t just remind me of an oolong, it quite literally tastes oolongy.
If cakes of this remain when I order again, I’ll probably grab one. Good stuff!

Ooooh, that sounds like one I gotta have. Added to my wishlist!
Somebody’s blog had an oolong tea cake recently, can’t remember where I saw it though.
Red Blossom has a Shui Xian cake, I’ve never tried it though: http://www.redblossomtea.com/tea/oolong/shui-xian-cake-2012.html
Thanks, y’all! I’ll be on the lookout for more like this. I wonder how well it will age and still retain the floral notes.
