I found the two sessions I had with this to be pretty much the same which was a good thing. Both conclusions came back with this tea being average for what I expect for a sheng that isn’t brand new but not old either. Nothing set this apart, but it’s hard to say where these cakes will be in terms of progress in a couple years. No offsetting notes either which would have been a good sign for going downhill, but there is only hope for this one.
This leaf is really easy to notice the tips and see color in the medium sized leaf that wasn’t over or under pressed. I will have to come back to all of the YS 2012 cakes next year again, been really fun and I’m still not completely done either.
