The last of my “5 for $5” sampler from Verdant Tea. Also, the first young sheng I’ve really enjoyed.
I took some advice from /r/tea over on Reddit and brewed this one at lower temp, like an oolong. The result was less bitter and astringent than I associate with young sheng.
The flavors were vegetal, with some camphor, dry grass and sweetness. A very pleasant, mellow sort of drink.
