After sitting on this for almost 5 years, I chipped off 6.5g and brewed 6.5g in a gaiwan, drinking from the fairness pitcher. The first two steeps have immediate returning sweetness, vegetal, earthy, spicy, and umami flavors. pleasant astringency, with very little bitter flavor. Almost smoky on the nose, but quickly turning to the expected raw aroma. Further steeps bring out more of the described grain flavor, which meshes well with this still, fairly green sheng. I will revisit this tea in another 4 or 5 years. Overall, a good purchase, and I’ll happily drink this over the next couple decades.
