The cake smells smoky.

6sec and rinse. 100ºC

10sec 96ºC — Clear orange infusion. It smells less smoky (really low). It’s smooth, sweet. No bitter. some sweetness. Really soft.

20sec 100ºC — As the last brew. No bitterness, sweet and soft brew.

I will continue brewing it at night, but at the moment is the best sheng i have tasted and also (if it’s true that is a 2006 sheng) the oldest.

Flavors: Smooth, Sweet

As the Lucky Dragon ripe cake was good I have been thinking of trying this. May have to buy it now.

I was thinking the same about the ripe. If you’re looking for a ‘soft’ sheng this is a good option.

I’m going to buy 1-2 more cakes and keep it for 3-5 years more to see how it ages.

Bio

I love every kind of tea, but my ABC are:

-Black: for a good shot in the morning, I love assam ctc and strong english breakfast (both with milk).

-Green: for spring and summer are the best in my opinion, I love Long jing and an ji bai pian.

-Oolong: For those days when you need something not to strong and not to weak. Nothing like Darjeeling and Nilgiri oolongs.

-Pu erh: For autum and winter. I love shou pu, I love it to be mellow, medium bodied or with chocolate notes.

I also have this blog where I upload some reviews of what I drink: http://finetealeaves.com/
