Today I drank the June offering from the White2Tea club. It was a mixture of old tree and very old tree sheng according to White2Tea. It was picked in April from a Mengsong Mountain old arbor garden. This is all information that I have to trust the seller on because there is no way to check on it. That being said this was a nice tea. There was little if any bitterness to it. It was the sort of young sheng made to drink now as opposed to one to age. It had a a sweet note from the beginning. At some points you might even call them apricots and stonefruits. However the finish tasted just a little flat to me. Sweet yes but not as much flavor as you would expect.
I steeped this twelve times in a 85ml Silver Teapot with 5.6g leaves 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 mini, and 2 minutes.
