Creamy shengs?

i have the controversial MP one, i dont get creamy either. I like it as well.

Those two I listed are definitely creamy. The rui gong so much so, I love it and I am paying for one in installments as its an expensive cake. Stewed apricots and cream it tasted like to me. Lovely stuff

I simply don’t get creamy from sheng at all. I’ve had some good ones but I have never had one I can actually call creamy. Tea in general I don’t often find creamy. Have you tried Yunnan Sourcing’s Impressions cakes? Those are good from the ones I’ve had.

This was one I really liked. I did review it on Steepster. Can’t say for sure if it would qualify as creamy because sheng just doesn’t taste like that to me.

What was the controversy about Misty Peaks?

That their sheng for spring 2015 and 2016 were both produced very, very early.

I see what you mean you mention a sheng being ‘creamy’ since I did send a couple of the samples you mentioned here. In my private diary I call that mouth feel ‘well rounded’ taste. I guess it is just a question of different words to express the same feeling. In statistics that mouth feel could look like the bell curve of a normal distribuion, rising to the peak and falling off slowly just like one gets with a liqueur.

Yeah, that could be it, im not very good at descriptions at the best of times, but I got an oily mouth that I liken to cream, and the way it muted the taste of the fruit/or had muted fruitiness is what cream does in cooking, like when you add it to a hot fruity curry, for example

luckily RuiA sent me two which one is recent and another blends but no more than 5 years on it. And both were creamy like you can get in an oolong.

Maybe not as creamy as oolong, but there was a milkiness and cream that muted the sharpness of the stonefruit. I was so impressed im buying a cake even though its expensive – 2014 rui gong tian chao

I spoke to Glenn from CLT and he mentioned that Yiwu shengs can have this characteristic

ah that sounds perfect, theres another called milk cream and alcohol or something isnt there.(which isnt what im after from the reviews ive read)

I like the slightly vegetal shengs, it might be up my street

The Poundcake is very good.

I love it. I’ve had more sessions with Poundcake more than any other sheng.

+1 Poundcake from me as well. Someone described this as a ‘desert sheng’ in their review, and I’d have to say this is a perfect description.

OolongDrunk, your review of Poundcake had me drooling and the Drake references were funny.

@Whiteantlers Well thank you :))

I’m guessing this might be hard to find? Im googling it and can only come up with you giving some to TeaDB and it being ‘expensive’

It’s pretty expensive, about 250 on taobao before fees. It was just the first tea I thought about when it came to creamy Sheng. 5 years ago it was 35 dollars…….SIGH

wow thats some inflation

Raw puer cakes that are creamy tasting.
