I really enjoyed this sheng. Definitely bitter/astringent at the beginning but that ebbs a bit into a lingering sweetness via strong huigan. There is a touch of citrus in the flavor I think with a very nice floral/fruity aroma. The mouthfeel of this tea is awesome. The bitterness works on the saliva glands and really gets things going. It has a thick body and really hit the spot for me this morning. There are also some elements of cooling/herbal sensations from the tea. I’m thinking about getting a cake of this. I think it will be interesting to try over time.

I got a cake. It’s quite different from Scott’s Jinggu cakes. More upfront bitterness and cooling/numbing together, which I like a lot.
