Chen Sheng Tea Factory.

Finally breaking into my ChenSheng Hao teas after keeping them in storage for the past year. This particular selection is one of their mid-grade productions and is made from high mountain organic old tree leaves. The cake itself is beautiful. Moderate compression allows for easy picking and the leaves remain whole and intact. The leaves produce a dark gold tea soup which is clear and bright. Not particularly fragrant but the scent revealed is clean and sweet. The mouthfeel is light, fresh and floral with a heavier strength in the backend. Sweetness becomes more evident in later infusions. This sheng is not terribly complex, but it is straightforward and easy-going. At the end of the tea session, I was left feeling rather relaxed and quite happy.
