From Yiwu, made with a local leaf called Fragrant Leaf. Noted for the sweet sticky rice fragrance imparted into the tea. It’s made to have a light, velvety texture and meant to be drunk now without further storage.

I decided I needed to pick up one of these little fragrant leaf shengs, it sounded so appealing from the description and the bamboo leaf wrapping could not be cuter…
I threw the first steep of this away after I realized I forgot to rinse it. The second steep here is pretty nice, I am getting the sticky rice aroma for sure, there is a slightly sweet taste with quite a bit of astringency in the finish. Slightly earthy. I steeped it for around 2 minutes basket style, I will try for less steeping next time around. It is a very young sheng but I liked it. My rating might go up when I’ve had the chance to do a proper gong fu tasting.
Third steep here has gotten a lot lighter with some more fruity/apple flavors…
