The scent of the first infusion is interesting right from the beginning. Dark fruit, lingering smokiness, maybe camphor as well as some woody notes. Soon a smoother honey aroma develops, but the fragrance never loses its complexity.
As for the taste, the tea is still quite bitter! More in the semiaged than aged phase, just as I like my sheng. Fruity notes are pretty clear, and there's a strong smoky and slightly haylike aftertaste that appears as soon as I take a sip.
Wow, what can I say. So far this has definitely been my favorite tea from my latest order, and it's quite cheap also! I should seriously consider purchasing a whole brick.
Well, it's no use to waste any more words on this review. I'm going to focus on the brew instead.
