For the story behind this sample Sheng pu’er look up 2014 White2Tea Red 3 on the White 2 tea website. It is a really interesting story. This is a very hard tea for me to review. I really like young Shengs that have a mineral/earthy taste with kuwei [pleasant bitterness] and some astringency. As stated beautifully on White 2 Tea website, this tea is “very sweet and direct, without much mineral or bitter character”. So it is not a tea I would normally purchase. So to the review. The soup is a very light green in color. The taste is truly sweet with a floral undertone and there is absolutely no bitterness or astringency. Is this a really good tea? Yes it is without a doubt. It is just not a tea for someone with tastes like mine, but it is a tea for those who love young Shengs but not the bitterness or astringency that can come with them.
