Receiving samples like this make me excited to buy from Teavivire in the future!
I had two great sesisions with this sheng and wasn’t disappointed. The wet leaves had the aroma of dates and wet straw. the soup tasted malty, but with what I can only describe as a “pepper” or “green chile” first note -which I wasn’t expecting at all. Mid way through my sessions the soup had a slight maple aroma, and a nutty caramel taste like brie cheese baked with brown sugar. Later infusions were tobacco flavored, smooth, and cooling.This is by far the most dynamic sheng I’ve tasted in my short time, and one to remember.
The sample also had a strong influence on my physical body. The first session was very rough on my stomach, and made me feel very “full” with no appetite. My mouth was watering for hours afterward. BUT after the discomfort, and with the second session I felt energized and balanced.
