A perplexing sheng, for sure. The cake had intense, iron-fisted compression that made flaking new leaves difficult. The opening aroma was a stellar display of fresh strawberries. Unfortunately, this character quickly faded. The first three steeps were thin, dry soups of green-tea-like grassiness, a faint hint of bile, and some raw grains. Around the fourth steep, the soup thickened up and gave a very generic sweetness, losing raw edges, but not gaining much depth. I’m not in much hurry to return to this one.
This is You :-D
Let me just follow up that this tea has an intense, jittery, angry, and strong qi to it. I’ve never felt anything like it, but it’s probably something like cocaine. I wouldn’t know. I’ve never felt as affected, negatively, by a tea as this one.
