A little bit disappointed with this one, especially after having enjoyed the little sheng cake that came with it. It’s a very pretty cake, and it smelled just fine – a bit malty mostly. Unfortunately, once I started brewing it, I kept getting a slightly bitter soapy flavor that dominated some of the nicer malty notes underneath it. I might give this a try with less leaf or cooler water or something. Even if it’s better that way, I think it’s safe to say I’d have preferred a 100g cake of the sheng ;)

Bio

A bit about myself: 22 years old, college grad (Double major in Anthropology and History). I plan to make a career of archaeology and hopefully travel (much of) the world in my days.

I enjoy many things aside from tea, including gaming, mixing cocktails, reading, watching anime, and painting miniatures.

My favorite type of tea is sheng puerh. Particularly younger stuff, if only because I haven’t gotten the chance to taste much of anything aged. I also really like oolong (Taiwanese, Wuyi, Dancong, etc.) and Japanese Green Teas. I do also enjoy most other kinds of tea, but they aren’t what I normally buy. I’m not a huge fan of shou puerh, black tea, or flavored blends, with few exceptions.

I really like interacting with the tea community, so if you ever want to talk or swap teas or anything, feel free to shoot me a message or something. Follow me and I’ll follow you back. Probably ;)
