My mouth is numb and I can hardy speak, much less type. Love this Sheng—not too sweet, moderately fruity and a tad bitter, with a pleasant smokiness emerging in the mid-steeps. And teak.

Very little viscosity. A little bit of vanilla custard sneaking in.

This is a special tea. Big fan of this one myself.

I agree. I ordered the 2013 to see how it compares.

Stephanie

I’m so sad that it is sold out :( I love this one SO MUCH!

Stephanie

By the way the Miles Birthday Blend is 80% the same tea! It’s REALLY good too!

Doug F

Thanks for the tip. Next order!

Doug, I’m curious about that 2013. Not much has been said about it, especially compared to the 2012! Please post your notes when you try it.

I think they’ve pressed a 2015 one too, don’t think it’s posted yet too.

Doug F

I will. It’s on the slow road from China along with some YS samples I’ve purchased based on teadb reviews and recs.

Bio

I love tea and living in a place that is cold or cool nine months of the year, tea is a constant source of warmth and education. I always drink tea straight and rarely drink flavored teas or Tisanes, except for the occasional Rooibos. I’m a proud father of two young boys, an avid skier, motorcyclist, reader, and runner. I have a doctorate in English (dissertation on Emily Dickinson.)
