Progression note.

Lighter in body with an airy mouthfeel. Much less sweet and green though still possesses a mossy-lichen petrichor undertone. Definite development of butterscotch-caramel taste that weaves through a bright, fruity-brassy midground with somewhat floral high tones. Later steeps see the expansion of aged florals and the buttery, baked mango aftertaste slowly blooms quite large. Throaty cooling quality also presents later in the session. Soft, lingering bitterness in the back of the mouth remains from my first experience with this sheng. Sits somewhat heavy in my stomach, like the Planet Kunlu dragon ball from Crimson Lotus. Strong rainforest vibe.

Preparation

Tea habits:

Among my favorites are all teas Nepali, sheng puerh, Wuyi yancha, Taiwanese oolong, a variety of black (red) teas from all over, herbal tisanes. I keep a few green and white teas on hand. Shou puerh is a cold weather brew. Tiny teapots and gaiwans are my usual brewing vessels when not preparing morning cups western style and pouring into my work thermos. Friend of teabags.
