This is another sheng that I just wasn’t into, which makes me feel guilty, as it was a sample from a tea friend.
The first steep after the rinse started out okay. I got some hints of pine sap, peaches, and a green vegetal flavor. There was a bit of astringency.
As it opens up, it gets too bitter, even after reducing the leaf and the brewing temp.

I’m sorry that you didn’t like it. :( We’ll find a sheng for you yet!
We will….
I’m sorry I didn’t like it! I feel bad for not liking it. :-(
That’s alright. There’ll be a sheng out there someday ;)
Maybe a sweeter sheng or a Wu Liang sheng may hit the spot.
