Time to spill: This aged sheng isn’t about complexity—it’s about comfort. Brewed in a duanni pot with water just off boil, the first wash reveals a sweet butter cookie aroma that lingers like a memory. Steep one: light and buttery, with whispers of baked goods and a faint pipe tobacco note. The sweetness evolves, turning into fresh whipped cream, while the buttery character stays intact. Steep two adds a touch of old straw dipped in sugar, caramel, and powdered-sugar donuts, all balanced by a light astringency. By steep three, the profile stabilizes—sweetness and straw blend with turbinado sugar and whipped cream, hinting at pipe tobacco without overpowering. Steep four brings more of the same, with a subtle briny minerality lingering in the finish. Steep five? A fleeting tangy pie cherry aroma appears, but it fades quickly, leaving the core flavor untouched.
This tea thrives on simplicity. It’s a daily drinker that avoids bitterness and clings to a buttery sweetness without overwhelming. The astringency is modest, emerging only when pushed, and the mouthfeel is light—no heavy coatings or cooling sensations. It’s the kind of tea you’d toss into a thermos for a long walk or stack in a gong dao bei for multiple infusions. The absence of funk and the focus on baked goods and cream make it a standout for those craving approachable, sweetened tea.
Key points: This aged sheng prioritizes buttery sweetness over complexity, delivers a light mouthfeel with minimal astringency, and thrives in multiple steeps without losing character.
