Generally sweet and woody with no off-putting notes. Thick and syrupy, very dark reddish-brown color that lightens by infusion number 10. The color reminds me of sweet vermouth. The first couple of infusions had notes of pancakes and maple syrup (but it might just be associative thinking). Fruity and mildly sweet with the ever-present woody base note. Slightly drying mouthfeel like with rose hips, more noticeable in later infusions. I stopped around infusion 12-13 and I can swear I even got some light floral note (rose, magnolia) on the out-breath similar to what I get in sheng pu’er (but much lighter) around 30 seconds after swallowing. A very easy drinking shou and also quite forgiving with brewing times.
