This is a very nice, simple, high quality young sheng. It brews up thick, and the leaf quality is very nice. The flavor is not too complex – just a nice simple buttery fruity young sheng. There is very little bitterness until later steepings, and even then, it is muted. It is a great tea, and very cheap for this quality – only $24 for a 200g cake.

I’ll have to get some of this. You are the third person I see who says it is good.

I have been wanting to age this a bit more but……you know..

Yeah, I get the impression this may fall flat with age. But maybe after 30 years it will be a gem!

Based on your notes, this seems very similar to the 2015, which has improved a lot since then.. more tropical fruits and also some Menghai bitterness.
