Pressed in 2021. Each cake is 200g. The cakes are wrapped in bamboo leaf tongs, with five cakes per tong.
Gongfu!
I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this tea, but I found the mouthfeel surprisingly quite soft with early steeps leaning a little sweeter and made up of tasting notes that made me think of peach or apricot flavoured cotton candy. The undertones are a little more vegetal and this becomes most apparent in the edamame-heavy finishing notes, which also had a lightly metallic tasting mineral note. As the session progressed, the flavours seemed to shift until this was more veg than sweet spun sugar – though the mouthfeel stayed a consistent, satin-like texture throughout. Though maybe a little too vegetal for my own tastes, I did feel like this was a very gentle way to ease into the day and the tea overall was quite approachable feeling. I would be soooo curious to hear from anyone else who has tried this sheng though, since my experience with this session feels pretty at odds with how W2T describes the tea…
