Got my order from Persimmon Tree… Sales are my downfall & you got me to try a few. I ordered a few samples and green caramel.. Hoping it’s a green I’ll enjoy! Excited to try everything! Thanks for the couple of extra samples!

It truly depends on taste preference. Sheng is closer to green tea, while Shu is closer to red. If you find that shu is too strong, I would suggest trying a shorter steep time and seeing if you like it better that way! :)
