This sheng is sweet and inviting; a bit darker generally (than other Yiwus I have enjoyed), and with lower-register notes which I quite enjoy. The flavor arrives in waves and layers, bouncing around the mouth. After two quick rinses I quickly detect aromas of plums, hay and vanilla. Liquor is clean with a dark golden color. As I sip the tea, I feel both a calming qi and a bit of energy with each cup. While very smooth, the tea soup offers a strong presence and pleasant sweetness. After enjoying six cups, I am left to ponder the joys of tea – feeling content and wanting to share this experience with others. A nice semi-aged pu-erh with quality and good potential for long-term aging.

I’m late to this party, but am sipping this now. Good stuff. Great stuff considering the eye-poppingly low price. Someone should pickup those last two cakes soon..
Agree with your notes. It’s been a while but it reminds me a bit of the 2005 Mengku Daxueshan, with a few more herbal notes.
