Lightly smoked green beans, creamy white florals and vanilla in an aromatic gold liquor give way to a swallow much the same. Medium body transitions into something lighter with brassy vegetal tones and light bitterness. Oversteeping really brings out the bitter. Good longevity.

This sheng didn’t hook me — I’m not too fond of the floral/vegetal combo in some sheng — but it does have a really nice creamy, custardy quality early on that absolutely was not there for me in the Planet Jinggu dragon ball.

Initial rating: 74. That might change as I work my way through this sample.
