Well, this was my second try with a “mini brick” and I think I’m gonna throw in the towel. I’m not sure if a ripe would be better suited to a mini brick but sheng isn’t working. The chopped leaves make for such a bitter brew that there are no amount of brewing adjustments that can save my taste buds. The nose is quite nice with a floral sweetness but the taste is pretty astringent. I think I’ll keep my purchases of “mini” pu’s to cakes and touchas. I wouldn’t recommend unless you are into a bit of S&M with your palate.

flush steeps. dont increase them just flush. any way leave it alone for now. btw YS has 2014 Ai lao mini tuos i tried recently. so creamy and good quality leaf. again very short steeps.
hanks boychik! I’ll try the flash brews. Are all mini shengs this way? And does the age play a part on this one as well? I’ll look into those mini tuos as well…sounds yummy. Thanks again!
