I liked this quite a surprising bit; makes me want to hunt down some more Cang’ers. Not qi-bangy, but delicious. LuckyCatTeaShop already hit a lot of the flavor notes I’d mention. This is super juicy, with fruity sweetness and late astringency dominating; other notes that come up are menthol cooling, fresh sweet herbs, baked bread, watermelon at the bottom of the cup. Takes a minute to open up due to the density of the press, but that really makes those middle steeps, when it’s fully revealed and releasing, something special. I’ve been pretty biased toward seeking out more funked-up sheng flavors, but this was a sweet surprise. I chipped off two of these in a row to make sure I liked it that much… a-yup.
Flavors: Astringent, Bread, Fruity, Herbaceous, Juicy, Menthol, Sweet, Watermelon
Have yet to get the cooling menthol sensation I’ve heard about…This one sounds wonderful.
