This is my first sheng pu’er, so I can’t really compare it with others, but I like it a lot.
It has a very rustic feel, in the wet leaf I can smell leather, hay, sage and some other plants like Breckland thyme. It reminds me of some meadows without being particularly grassy or floral.
The initial taste is also reminiscent of herbal teas a bit, but with much more depth. In later infusions, there are camphor notes present too. There is a decent amount of bitterness (especially when I use as much leaf as today), but it is somewhat tamed and very pleasant. In the aftertaste, there is some honey sweetness followed by a bit of sourness developing later.
The tea is also quite mouth-watering and although not very thick, the texture is nice.

have you heard of a sheng that has shu and sheng tastes? it is called a semi aged sheng :D try a sheng from 13-18 yrs old. you might like it :D
Thanks, this Bu Lang Shan is already approaching that territory I guess. Next I got a couple of younger shengs to explore, but I will be looking for some aged ones later too.
Awesome :D
