I am going to start by saying that this is my favorite sheng to date. As in, ever.

I gave it a five second rinse. I steeped and used my aroma cup. The scent at first was typical sheng but with a secret sweet sparkle. I expected just another sheng. But this has the complexity I find in some of the nicer oolongs. Wow.

There is a sense of having an herbal tea with floral notes, and maybe a little honey. It reminds me a little of getting the flower nectar out of petunias when I was young. With short steeps, this is smooth and sweet enough to entice even the most fearful puerh novice. Steep it longer for extra zing and briskness if that’s how you roll.

Thank you, Wymm Tea, for this delightful sample.

I’ll have to try that one out. I rarely get floral notes off a sheng.

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
