A great purchase from Scott at YS. Very pleased with this one. I’m not quite sure about the other reviews on this one. I had no bitterness at all and tons of sweet fruit taste! Maybe try some different brewing parameters because this is a great sweet sheng that should be tried for sure. The sweetness was more of a returning “hui gan” on the back of the tongue that seemed to creep forward. A nice cooling in the throat as well. Very fruity on the nose with some smokiness. Not really any smokiness in the taste but on the nose for sure. I got more steeps than I could count on this one and it was a very giving leaf. Nice big leaves. What else can I say….brew it up “right” and it is a very good tea and I would highly recommend trying this one. I’ll be buying more for sure. Try 5-6 grams in a 100ml gaiwan with a 5 second rinse at 205f with about 5-8 second steeps adding a few seconds after the first couple. Worked for me with no real astringency and tons of sweetness! Enjoy!

i like this one too
Yeah the first time I had this one it had a great returning sweetness that I keep trying to find again…any idea why the sweetness moved from the back end to only a bit on the front of the sip? Maybe just a different part of the cake or possibly storage? Still enjoy this one for sure.
Every session is different. No guarantees . Some teas are amazing first time but average some other. Some you might not like now but you may love it in a few months or years
