Drank this a few nights ago, will do a full review at a later date but this was a very lovely, warming, Qi heavy session. I spent about an hour and a half just doing about 8 brews with this tea. I think the amount of time this tea made me spend with it really speaks volumes about its quality.

7g in 100ml gaiwan. This will be brief: great aroma of fragrant wood, incense, tobacco, and some stewed fruit on the wet leaves. The brew is a dark amber, lovely balance of bitterness and sweetness. Full in the mouth with good characteristics i.e. long finish, causes salivation, long cooling sesnation. The qi is very warming and relaxing. I should have thrown a few more grams in, 8-9 grams next time. This brewed pretty consistently for 8 brews before slowly loosing some steam. dry leather finish and hints of mushroom in later brews. Nice honey sweetness creeps in as well with a floral complexity. Overall a very nice full flavored aged sheng, doing well at the 10 /11 year mark.

Flavors: Floral, Honey, Leather, Wood
