Light flavours, with some mint cool feeling in the mouth and some “aged” taste. A fruity reminiscence, but really light. Liquor is clean and not very thick. Maybe I’d have used more leaf, but wanted to split the sample in two sessions. 98ºC/10 sec and increasing till 30s.
I had a feeling that was going to be one of those teas that hits you hard when on the third steep, with some feeling in my sinus, but that sensation disappeared from next steep.
At this point I’m trying to get aquaintance with aged sheng, so my opinion might vary with time.

I just experienced Menthol in sheng for the first time a couple days ago, however it was only in the smell. Is the menthol a taste or smell or both for this one?
It’s more of a cooling feeling in mouth and throat. I can smell it in the wet leaf and feel it in the aftertaste.
Yes! Exactly what I was thinking. For my sample the menthol scent for an 18 year old sheng was unexpected to say the least. Thanks!
