Scent wise your senses arrived straight into the middle of a fresh blooming sunny hillside covered with field flowers and herbs – very well chosen. Even within its steaming bouquet you can already feel its smoothness!

The main tasting profile is very well rounded with a fine perfectly placed sour astringent layer. Within this raw Sheng even a young one like this – the bitterness level is very well balanced and only noticeable if you screw it up and over brew it massively. There is a certain berry sweetness to it which blends in masterfully with the rest of this deliciously bouquet. After the cup last drop pleasured my tongue the empty inside isn’t that empty at all – this typical beeswax scent is very tasty and gained a level of perfection. Enjoying this wonderful raw Sheng is like feeling the first rays of dawn on your skin.

There is without a doubt a strong placed mineral natural accent to it while the main focus locates itself within a skilled composed vegetable environment filled with young fresh spinach, lamb’s lettuce and such a nice an unique sweet combo of a hint of raspberries and strawberries ~ just lovely! This is a perfect example of great skills, love, wisdom and experiences plus and most important the undeniable beauty of mother nature!

Bio

Ahoi,

I am a tea taster and tea-blog author from Vienna. Since my early Childhood days I was always drawn to East Asian culture especially China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. It wasn’t a thing I discovered because of my parents or my environment – it was a thing that started on its own and spread its antennas into nearly every direction what Asian culture could deliver.

I felt in love with their history, movies, Tv-Shows, food, Anime, Videogames, tea culture – nearly everything. 2009 was the first time I visited Japan – it was a feeling of finally being home. Since that time I developed such a passion for tea because tea combines so many aspects I love. Taking photos, writing, Asian culture, the connection to mother nature and its history, the love for craftsmanship (Teaware etc).

Within 2013 I started my teablog called ZeroZen(https://zeroteazen.wordpress.com/) – the first couple of years I only posted content in my mother language German. But within 2016 I discovered Instagram for myself and found the perfect medium for my artistic output which is now completely and exclusive in English ^___~
