One of my mystery teas.
I know this is a 2009 sheng fro Phoenix Mountain. I don’t know the name of the factory or company who produced the cake.
Anyways, it’s quite good. Apricoty, of course. Low smoke, but with a pronounced bitter hit on the end. It smooths out over later steeps. I think this one will age very nicely!

Happy it’s decent, after all your troubles!!!
Interestingly, it gets sweeter and less bitter as it cools. I normally find the opposite to be true!
Today I had sheng that acted exactly the same. Bitter in the beginning as cooled was very sweet. I thought I imagined it
