Nice balance while keeping the punch. Little bit of sweetness and great hui gan. At the start of each year, I usually buy a cake or two from Farmerleaf. I enjoy how complex their sheng is and it always packs a punch. This year, they threw in a sample of this tea with my order and it was the star of the show. You get plenty of the green, young sheng flavor mixed in with some sourness and astringency like you’d have with fresh basil and mint. Those flavors linger on into that lasting sweetness that rounds out the experience. This is exactly what I want from a sheng.
