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.
