While not the most complex or layered sheng its flavour is spot on raw with robust vegetal and some mineral notes. Hui gan on POINT! long lasting sweet flowery white grapey apricotty. will show some astrigency if pushed no doubt AND! potent chi. tbh this tea is worth a try for its chi alone imo.
With spring arriving, my taste buds have once again decided that they really enjoy young sheng. I grabbed a sample of this cake because I enjoy some of Mengku's semi-aged cakes and wanted to see what they were currently producing. Long story short, it's an incredible tea. As the description says, it has a great balance of everything you could wantRead more about review stating All of the above in young puerh, except maybe for the orchid aroma/taste you find sometimes in brand-new puerh. I used 4.1g in the 60ml gaiwan sold here. Tea is thick, buttery. As soon as it enters my mouth, all the taste buds on the surface of my tongue come alive. I can tell it is strong and bitter, meaning it will be excellent as it ages. At the same time, it's sweet and thirst quenching, demanding to be drank right away. Good to the last drop, I will definitely be picking up a cake to drink through the hot summer.
I am not experienced enough with aged raw puerhs to give a detailed review but i recently ordered various samples of aged shengs and this was my favourite. It has a pleasantly aged taste (does not taste too aged though) and a very balanced flavour profile. It has a menthol and winter green note which I do enjoy. I really recommend getting a sampleRead more about review stating Really nice.
very cool Premium Haiwan puer!
