Two days ago I returned to this sheng in my collection, which always means engaging time.

The aroma is nutty and has hints of alcohol. The taste is sweeter than in the past, but still with plenty of pungency and the interesting bitterness layers present. It somehow tastes ‘yellow’ to me, but I’m not even sure myself what that means. Specific flavours include wood, hay, sugar beet, tree bark, gin, barley, birch, wet earth and others. There is a strong minerality and thickness to the mouthfeel. The qi is very grounding and warming in the core.

Flavors: Alcohol, Bark, Bitter, Grain, Hay, Mineral, Nutty, Roots, Sugar, Sweet, Thick, Wet Earth, Wood

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
