I finally opened a tuo of this. It’s a pretty good aged sheng. Brews up light and has a mix of notes that I identify as tobacco, mesquite smoke, sweetness, and a hint of fruit (like a plum flavor?). This holds up for a multitude of steeps and is a very smooth drinker. It’ll be good to age my other tuos and see how it progresses.
Flavors: Smoke, Sweet, Tobacco
Learning more about tea every day.
Likes: Greens, whites, oolongs, blacks, and herbals! Just depends on the mood :)
Dislikes: Coconut, melon, chocolate, peach, cherry
I also collect antique teaware (Chinese and Japanese).
I’d love to try new types, varieties, etc. I’m still exploring pu-erh to make a complete decision whether to keep trying it or just count it as a loss.
I’d love to trade with anyone who likes something that I might have! I just have to get everything added to my cupboard first :)

I had this one sitting in the fridge so that I could steep it later again.. The cold leaves smelled like bacon to me. mmmm.. bacon..
