1758 tasting notes

Drinking a sheng today that I got from Dragon Tea House a couple of weeks ago. However they sold out and removed it from their website so I am not certain what it is. I think it is the 2015 Dr Puerh Small Bing Dao raw tea. But I am not sure. If anyone can read the Chinese on the wrapper I will post the photo.

This was a fairly nice sheng with very little bitterness at the start and a sweet note that developed into what I would have to describe as apricots and stonefruits. I gave this twelve steeps and it certainly would have gone a few more.

I steeped this twelve times in a 110ml teapot with 8.1g leaf and boiling water. 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, and 2 minutes.

I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure it’s the same tea. I saw a blog post about the 2015 Bing Dao and the wrapper was identical.

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
