This cake is beautiful! I opened up my package to reveal the most loosely compressed beeng ever! These dark long slender leaves are wildly threaded to form a gorgeous cake. I thought that it was going to unravel in my hands. The dry leaf carries a dry wood and prunes scent. I was incredibly excited to dive right in to this treat. I placed these long tendrils in my warmed yixing and gave them a shake. The aroma of raisins and thick smoke consumed my tea room. I began brewing immediately. This brew has a powerful soothing qi feel. The flavor is one to match. It’s a complex taste. This drink gives a smooth mouthfeel of apricot and oak. Then it leaves with an uplifting qi and sweet aftertaste. The brew became even more powerful with further steepings. It left my tounge with a thizzed sensation. It lasted well into the double digit steepings, for it still yielded a topaz colored liquor. The steeped leaves smelled of bold smoke and tobacco. This is definitely one of my favorites, and I’m so glad I was able to treat myself to this Sheng.

Bio

Young and experienced Tea consumer. I’m continuously learning and developing knowledge about tea. If I have learned anything at all from the world of tea it is that I do not know anything about the world of tea. I enjoy good tea, and I try to acquire the best of the best. I usually brew gongfu but I’ve been known from time to time to resort back to western brewing.

I have an Instagram (haveteawilltravel), and I am proud of my photographs. I use my pictures in my reviews,and I hope that they aid in portraying the beauty of tea and teaware.

Tea Rating System:
I rate my teas based on the category they fall into (Puer, Red, Oolong, Darjeeing, Flushes, Yancha… etc.)
This means that I will rate a Oolong based on how it stands up as a quality Oolong. I try not to compare teas, rather I work to evaluate them on their craftsmanship, harvest, processing, and qi.

I am most strict with Shou and Sheng Puerh, only because of the vast expanse of various experiences, such as; region, vintage, production, processing, etc.
