Pretty thick texture, the front notes are quite fruity while the back end of this tea is more of what I would expect from a young sheng. Got a little bit astringent but nothing unpleasant; if anything it adds to this tea’s body and complexity. Smaller leaf puerh but has a pleasant amount of cha qi. At steep 7 this tea started to die down flavor wise but was still delicious would definitely recommend.

Brewed this one more like a Oolong so 195 degrees with shortish steeps in the beginning. The end of this tea is quite sweet and tastes quite like caramel and smoke on the front notes it tastes sort of like a roasted genmaicha or something along those lines. Great tea of nice quality but not much my style.

If you like roasted teas then this is a pretty good option for you. Compared to some of the other dark roasted stuff that I have had this one has more flavor besides what comes from the roasting. The first couple steeps is where I tasted a lot of the roast but the later steeps were better in my opinion with more of the honey and fruity notes coming out.
