I’m still fairly early in the steepings of this, but it’s putting me the perfect taichi frame of mind. I’m ready to go move some energy, if you know what I mean.
I’ve written a much better review than this one previously, & I stand by it. This is a lovely textured sheng, light & savory, with hints of lime, unglazed clay, & a creamy vanilla feel that is coming up now. I’ll have to return to this one later, as I brave the pollen count to drive to class.

I find the unglazed clay mention really unusual. Earthy I can understand, but clay sounds less palatable.
I know, lol. I just re-read my description, & it’s funny how we will perceive tastes & textures that we normally wouldn’t seek out, & yet we enjoy the tea anyway! Anyway, this one is definitely not earthy. The clay taste/texture is clean, mineral, kind of like a brand new yixing.
Hints of lime? …mmm…

Oooooh sounds glorious
Revisiting this one some more today, & I’ve sipped through a limestone kind of taste & texture, not to be confused with the earlier lime fruit qualities.
My current cup is creamy, but also kind of fruity & bright.
