This caused great confusion, because to me the initial scent and taste are of mugicha, roast barley tea! When you steep it on the long side and get a slight bitter edge on the roast. The sheng characteristics then come in, with lots of sweetness and a lingering astringency. I’ve not had any other shengs like this.

Sheng mugicha!

Excellent value for the quality you get.

@mrmopar Have you come across any other teas that taste similar, or is it peculiar to this one? It really isn’t like any others I’ve had so I was curious.

Not the HLH productions. I had a Changtai years ago that was similar. I think this being loose aged maocha had an influence on the final product.
