There is no bitterness and its smooth. Im usually sensitive to feel the cha qi and here it's mild, but it's definately there. Its not strong, like with some teas This tea was part of my first order and I don't regret it a bit!
The perfect everyday sheng puerh. Smell is sweet and taste is perfect balance between astringency and bitter. Loose compression ensures easy separation.
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.
This is the sample that gave me the tea drunkenness for the first time. Deep color, slight ripe smell, that definite sheng taste but in the distance. My first aged sheng and boy what change it’s put me through. Turns me into an tuning fork I want a tong so bad hopefully they’ll be left over when I can afford🤞
After brewing this tea at 5g/100mL I got a nice relaxing, grounding and yet focused session. This is the type of tea that brings you into that post-meditation zone where your brain stops racing and you are simply content with life and the moment you are in - perfect for a Sunday afternoon in the garden with the sun out. Tasting very savory, the tea starts with a creamy slight bitterness that fades away into a fruity, bubbly after taste that remains in the back of your throat for a long time. The empty cup gives off a sweet flower smell, incense and dried flowers, funky in a very enjoyable way. A very activating feeling (tingling) on the lips and tongue after drinking, another sign of the exceptional properties of the tea. This is top grade stuff.
