This one smelled more green than sheng when it was dry, so I had high hopes for it. There is a bit of that green funk, but it’s accompanied by the formaldehyde and flowery soap that usually comes with sheng. My coworker, who actually enjoys it, describes it as Dial soap and flowers.
He’s benefiting immensely from my sheng experiments this morning.

hmmm…. dial soap sounds particularly unpleasant, haha.
Specifically Dial. Not Dove. Not Lever. Not Olay.
Hope this will age into a better tea. I got one of these just because TU supported these people. Hopefully better soon. Experimenting on people.. sometimes priceless!
