A lot of strength and a long lasting mouthfeel is pleasing your tasting buds for a very long time. Even after the last sip is taken the experience is still there like an old friend you can’t let go. But beside this poetic aspects there is a lot of tasting going on within this quite astringent Sheng. With a floral overture of daisies , dandelion and a subtle hint of camomile a very buttery mouthfeel is gentle covering every last corner within your mouth and throat. After the buttery aspect settled down a touch of iron covers your buds with an elegant composed fruity sweet fusion mixed together of peach skin and wine grape seeds. Beside those notes you might also discover a green-ish touch of green salad and a finish of chestnuts at the end of it. After a couple of steeps a cooling feeling on your palatal and on the inside of your cheeks isn’t deniable. This strong fellow is predestinated for a long and hopefully joined by other session because there is a lot to discover and discuss. The scent and slightly the taste of the liquor but especially the scent of the empty cups really reminds me a lot of natural beeswax. Thankfully there isn’t much bitterness going on unless you totally forget the tea bathing in steaming heat. I really loved it.

Bio

Ahoi,

I am a tea taster and tea-blog author from Vienna. Since my early Childhood days I was always drawn to East Asian culture especially China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. It wasn’t a thing I discovered because of my parents or my environment – it was a thing that started on its own and spread its antennas into nearly every direction what Asian culture could deliver.

I felt in love with their history, movies, Tv-Shows, food, Anime, Videogames, tea culture – nearly everything. 2009 was the first time I visited Japan – it was a feeling of finally being home. Since that time I developed such a passion for tea because tea combines so many aspects I love. Taking photos, writing, Asian culture, the connection to mother nature and its history, the love for craftsmanship (Teaware etc).

Within 2013 I started my teablog called ZeroZen(https://zeroteazen.wordpress.com/) – the first couple of years I only posted content in my mother language German. But within 2016 I discovered Instagram for myself and found the perfect medium for my artistic output which is now completely and exclusive in English ^___~
