This is a lovely smooth sheng. Getting fruity sweetness and nice natural tasting body and aroma. It doesnt taste aged in a forced way, just mellow and lovely. I cant place the flavours very well but it is really nice.
But oh is it a strong one. ive got the jitters like I would from a coffee and that affects my enjoyment. Literally after each small cup I can feel it come on and im buzzing like a bee. I didnt get through many steeps at all today because It took me ages to get over each one. And there wasnt much leaf used either. perhaps 3-4g
Highly recommended for people who can take a stimulating qi hit ok, and have the money to spend on it.
Flavors: Apricot, Sweet

I thought it was too strong with the stimulant effect, I prefer a smoother ride with some relaxation. It was fast acting like doing a shot :)
I know the feeling. I was drinking through a 2005 CNNP Yunnan Pu-erh the other day in between shifts, and felt incapable to drive to work!
I’ve been stepping it back a bit and sipping on Oolong and Green teas….Getting tea drunk is something for days off. Ha-ha.
Getting a little tea drunk, eh? Ha-ha.
