I had this tea yesterday and did quite a few infusions on it. It had some of that honey sweetness & apricot flavour I love in my shengs but there was this underlying bitterness that just wouldn’t go away. It was in every infusion. I was using high temperatures-near boiling. Some shengs are okay with that and others not so next time I will try the lower temperature. I won’t be rating this tea until I give it a try at the lower temperature.

hmm sounds good to me. I like a nice bitter to balance out the sweet :)
I think the lower temperatures are better for bringing out the sweetness but I’ve had a few shengs that okay with the higher temperature. It depends on the tea.
