A nice sheng that is bitter, sweet and savoury, but which doesn’t really stand out within the YS catalogue to me. The body is medium to light and there isn’t all that much complexity at the moment. I find that the cha qi is mild and very pleasant in the way it brings me to the present.
Dry leaves still smell quite strong of apricots and fruit orchard. Later the aroma reminds me of stewed vegetables, chard, linden, and asparagus. It has a somewhat cooling character.
The tea has very vivid taste with a floral sweetness to it and a persistent, but never aggressive bitterness. Specific notes include bay leaves and coriander seeds. The aftertaste is likewise floral and crisp.
