Finally I’ve had a sheng that makes me understand what shengs are all about and why anyone would want to drink one.
Dry leaves are so luxurious and smell of licorice and flowers. I want to bathe in this smell.
I’ve gone onto 7 infusions so far and they are all butter pecan delicious with a hint of creamy sweetness. Faintly musty and earthy but with a aftertaste that lingers. No sign of the flavor slowing down. No weird funkiness that make me wonder what this is and why I am drinking it. I love wild tea and this seems like a great showcase for it – a gorgeous mature and fully blossomed beauty that deserves my full attention and devotion. I wish I was better at describing these things. Bravo and A+. If I ever have a better sheng I will be amazed. I am seeing stars.
More accolades to come, I am sure….

Amy I was going to order from them last night. An Imperial Shu or something like that. I chickened out when I saw the shipping was $7.00. After reading this I think I can handle the money….
This is why I love Steepster. Amy I trust your judgement and I will buy this tea and I will want to bathe it too….
Sounds amazing!! So glad they’re local!

I just placed the order. I am jealous that you have access to very fine tea in your area….
Charles, i hope you like it! What else did you get?
Stephanie, they are great but everytime i go in there i want to spend all of my money!
At least you have all those places to go to get quality tea very close to home. :))
