Blind bought a cake of this shou because it was cheap and reviewed favorably by mrmopar. This tea has the darkest flavors of any I’ve tried for sure. Nothing fruity, nutty, or sweet. Just pure, dark, relatively intense richness.
Mouthfeel is thick and nice. No bitterness and trace astringency. 12+ infusions. No noticeable aftertaste.
A blind purchase well done! Glad I followed mrmopar’s opinion on this one :).
Also, if anyone would like to try any of the teas I’ve got, I’d be glad to swap some samples – just DM me!
