I agree with previous notes on this. it brew a nice golden hue in the cup. It has a lot of bitterness almost to the point of being smoky. It is very intense and one of the most “upfront” and strong shengs I have tasted. The aroma will remind you of an Xiaguan with smoky notes. This is a strong bitter sheng but not astringent. It will leave a good tingle from the middle of the tongue back. You will savor this one after drinking a while I think. The “dryness” on the palate along with the bitter is intense. I added a small amount of sugar and it brought ut some sweetness to the brew. Only 1 cup so far as I think it will knock my socks off tonight. A stout sheng for sure.
