This tea is a sample from Scott at Yunnan Sourcing. The soup is a light gold in color with a nice floral smell. The taste has everything I like about a young Sheng: kuwei, astringency and an earthy/grassy taste with a hint of smoke. What I don’t like about this tea is the flavors are too muted for my liking, I really wish they were stronger. Having said that, is this an excellent tea, no. Is this a really good tea, yes it is. Would I buy it, yes I would. In my opinion only, this is an excellent tea for those who want to try a young Sheng but are afraid of the tastes overpowering them. Oh, Scott is only charging $15.50 for a tea that could easily go for twice that amount!!!!

I have been a tea drinker almost all of my life. In 2008 I was able to accompany my wife to a conference she had in Shanghai. At one of the dinners I was introduced to the Nectar of the Gods – Pu’er and I have been hooked ever since.
