drank 2014 Jingmai Raw by Mandala Tea
493 tasting notes

I got home to a wonderful package fr AllanK.
I had to have this tea right away. So my usual gongfu parameters for sheng
5g 100ml porcelain gaiwan 200F
Rinse/ 3/3/5/5/7/10sec etc
This sheng is very creamy. Like fruity cream of wheat. I really liked first 5 steeps. Then it got a little more bitter and astringent . Also some sour notes creeped up. Nothing major, nothing unpleasant . I just wish it stayed the same as first steeps. I really enjoyed those.

I’m glad you liked it. Did you find it strong?

Hard to say if its strong or not. I think you used more leaves and higher temp. I still want to try it @ 195F.
