This reminds me of a dancong, but less tart and more smooth chocolate-like. This is one of the smoothest oolongs I’ve had so far.

This is the least smokey young sheng I’ve had so far. It smells a little smokey dry, but it smells fruity when wet. It tastes slightly fruity and I enjoyed eating it with some smokey gouda cheese.

It smells somewhat sweet, like tutti-frutti. It tastes less floral than it smells. I haven’t fallen in love with Dancongs yet, but this is one of the tastier ones I’ve had so far.

I don’t know whether this is a shu or a sheng. Is this what sheng becomes after 17 years of aging? It’s not as potent and fishy as most of the shu I drink. It seems slightly smokey, but not nearly as smokey as the young sheng I’ve had.

The flavor is subtle and a little grassy, but I enjoy it.

Fairly smokey and a little bitter. I think I’m still not a fan of sheng.

I really like this tea. It’s reminiscent of a silver needle white tea (tastes soft and fuzzy), but it’s rich like a black tea.

I brewed 4 grams in my 4 oz. gaiwan, starting at about 8 seconds for the first steeping.

This is my favorite Japanese tea so far. It has the roasted flavor of genmaicha but doesn’t have the grassy flavor I usually associate with Japanese green teas.

This is one of my new favorite oolongs. It’s very malty, like some of my favorite black teas but with more body.
