I have been working this one for three days now. It is a truly amazing tea. The strength of this one is amazing. It comes across with a mineral, citrus and honey notes. At times it has hits of camphor and “saltiness” that stays on the tip of the tongue. You can feel this one way down after drinking. I wish I had made some notes of the earlier steeping s. I plan to brew this one till it has nothing left as I think it will continue to yield more. This is probably the oldest sheng I have had and I can understand why people talk about aged sheng. Pure unadulterated Menghai at its best before the commercialization of it the following year. I think a whole beeng of this is on the shopping list.

nice!
Sound really nice, is this possible to get today, where do i buy it?
@Jan-Erik I bought the last one Dragon teahouse had. I think John at King Tea on Aliexpress has it. You may want to send him a message and make sure it is still available. Tell him you are from Steepster and you should get a bit of a discount.

It is still priced decent. I think I paid $85.00 when I got it a few years back.
