Sample with the purchase.
i had a session of it last night and im going to continue today. this kind of sheng brews and gives many delicious steeps. its buttery creamy, some floral and about 3rd steep nice bitterness kicks in immediately followed by huigan.
I really enjoy it. it goes on my enormous YS wishlist.
Somebody shared with me that its necessary to keep the lid off between steeps when you brew young sheng or green oolong. keeping lid on cooks the leaves and make it soggy.

I keep the lid off for all tea …
Since I started out as a green tea drinker I habitually keep the lid off all teas after pouring. I have noticed though when using a gaiwan that shengs do well with it on during the initial two or so steeps after the leaves cool slightly. It’s trivial, but I think it helps the leaves hydrate more efficiently and makes for better forthcoming steeps.
I do the rinse and wait method. I let the tea rest after the wash as I find it brews better with the wait.
Yup, I’ve learned that from others here how sheng leaves need a rest before the 1st brew. I love how pu’er forces me to slow down and experience the tea.
