Moist, fresh fruity aroma in the leaves. Can't wait to taste this one.
The fragrance of the first infusion is very smooth and extremely fruity with a clear apricot note. Later on a delicate floral aroma appears as well. This aroma I always connect to either tea buds or the purple tea variety. It would be interesting to know whether some purple tea is contained in the mix.
The taste of the brew is very lively and clear with no bitterness or off-tastes. The liquor slides down smoothly and immediately leaves a peachy aftertaste. Later on the taste
I would be very interested to try this tea again in 5+ years. As for now, it does seem quite young still. The tea is so good it does not matter though.
This is definitely a delicious high quality sheng to be drank right now. But will it age well? Who knows... If it manages to preserve its character and maybe acquires some interesting new dimensions, why not.
Personally for me the only thing I missed was just that little bit of bitterness and raw power. That just me though.
