I know about the sheng ’Spicy" notes as well. I think the first one I got in the aroma was the “Wild Monk” from Mandala. like inhaling some spicy hot sauce in the aroma.
not really burn but the steam from the Gaiwan kind of put me back a step. Have you tried the wild monk yet?
I get pepper notes as well with some teas. More in shou if I remember correctly.
i consider show to be earthy and sheng to be spicy with honey
