I bought 25g sample of this some time ago.
I think its first time im tasting wet stored aged sheng.
its sweet and herb spicy. Also menthol pretty pronounced in the beginning. i pick up some earthiness, like dump soil, but its not much,some trace. its not unpleasant to me. had more than 6 steeps, color is orange tinted. Again, my steeps were very short, maybe if you steep longer color would be brighter. Long lasting sweetness. Coolness in my mouth remained for a long time.
I think i like it a lot.

i got 2013 brick too. im just afraid it wont be able age the same. its humid in NY but is it enough? Anyway i think i will pick up 2005 brick. The leaves are black, no green spots.

Yeah looks like the 2005 already has the humid storage and doesn’t cost much more.
