Togo drank 2004 Yiwu ZhenShan gushu Sheng by Literárna Čajovňa

999 tasting notes

A very nice aged sheng for 0.4$/g, it is on par with many that are being sold at double the price (from YQH or Taiwan Sourcing for example). The tea is very warming, both in its profile and its effect. The super sticky, thick and oily texture is perhaps the highlight for me here.

Its aroma is mily and earthy, while the taste is bittersweet and spicy with woody undertones. There are notes of garlic scapes, coriander seeds, cinnamon, and sumac among others. The aftertaste is juicy and tart which is very refreshing and makes the tea easier to drink on the whole.

Flavors: Bitter, Cinnamon, Coriander Seed, Flowers, Milk, Plant Stems, Sweet, Tart, Thick, Wet Earth, Wood

Preparation

Boiling 0 min, 15 sec 6 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

Hi, I am a researcher in math, physics and computer science. Apart from teas and mathematics, I enjoy sports and traveling, as well as music of all kinds. Connect at https://rateyourmusic.com/~Togo

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
