I’m a strange person, not to say strange is bad or anything… just, what I do sometimes cannot be made sense of.
Yesterday I took this 2004 sheng and sprinkled some roasted mate ontop of it. The heck was thinking? Well, it was early morning so maybe I wasn’t.
I ended up steeping this through that way about eight times until it got funky. That was an odd experience.
Anyways: Today I brewed the remaining 8g(which is a lot for me) and steeped it 11 times to come to a conclusion that I don’t like the dark soup’ness to this tea that comes out in the fourth steep and continues to stay there. The stronger taste to this sheng ends up being a dry experience for me and that isn’t something I like about drinking tea of any kind which is why I’m picky about pu’erh and yancha. Since this already has some age on it, I don’t think it will really get any better :/
