Dragon ball version from 2017 Sheng Olympics in a 170 ml porcelain pot. Tons of honey and sugarcane sweetness throughout the entire session. one of the sweetest teas I’ve had recently. Lots of tropical/ citrus fruit – lemon zest, orange, mango, pineapple. reminds me of new wave IPAs – specifically with citra and mosaic hops, fresh and juicy. interesting herbal and nut tons come and go. medium texture with an uplifting yet calming qi, good and long lasting huigan, all around nice mouth characteristics for a low astringency/bitterness sheng. If these were available for purchase I would buy more. Considering buying a cake but the price is just a tad steep for 200g.

Trying the orb version from the group buy, so steamed the sucker open with an extra long rinse to start, 205 F in a preheated porcelain gaiwan. This opened up to quite the bitter tea with an intense throat coating and interesting herbaceous depth, but it was getting complaints from my drinking companions, so dialed it down to 200 F later which kicked the bitter down, but also kind of dialed down some of that thick body.

The energy on this one is quite strong, very warming to the point that I had to remove the heavy sweater I was wearing by steep 5, and was struck suddenly by a heavy foggy
dizziness on steep 6. Some mild throat sweet sugar cane return was present at this point, highlighted by the bitterness of the tea, which never really goes away completely, even at this light temperature, although it surprisingly doesn’t ever have much astringency to accompany it either. Don’t remember much else at this point since I was drinking with company and didn’t write down notes, but it was quite the strong tea, glad I got to try it, although I don’t know if the flavor was something I’d seek out. Be curious to see how this tastes in a few years.

Am drinking the Dragon Ball version of this from Liquid Proust’s Sheng Olympics. I think this is a good quality tea. It was very tightly compressed, took several infusions to open up. Once it opened up there was a strong bitterness to it. This lasted a few steeps and was replaced by a sweet note. Not sure if I would call it apricots, maybe mushrooms, something a little less sweet but tasty. I might just have to buy a cake of this. Gave this fourteen infusions and I could get a few more out of the leaves. I may save the leaves for later this afternoon. This was quite a good sheng measured over fourteen steeps. Also, there was a mild astringency in the early steeps. This left the tea as well.

Steeped one dragon ball, 7.4g of leaf in a 150ml gaiwan with boiling water fourteen times. I gave it a 10 second rinse. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, 1 min, 1.5 min, 2 mini, 2.5 min, and 3 min. The tea had weakened somewhat on the fourteenth steep but I think I could get two to four more steeps out of it at least.
