Butter Pat Sheng Pu'er S.L.A.B. (牛油片生普洱, Niú Yóu Piàn Shēng Pǔ'ěr, "Butter Slice Sheng Pu'er") - This delightful little 8 gram slice of 2022 sheng is from an early spring harvest from 3 different mountains: Nannuo, Bada, and Leida, which are all adjacent to each other. By blending tea from different mountains, Li Shulin has achieved a tea fresh, zesty, fruity taste with very little bitterness or astringency. A great introduction to sheng pu er for those new to the genre, and sure to attract lots of attention if you bring it out at a party.

Balanced
This is a nicely balanced sheng, with just enough bitterness to keep things interesting and plenty of sweet undertones. I found it less sensitive to oversteeping at high temperatures than some other sheng puer I've had

Sweet and gift wrapped
This tea definitely is fun to unpack, but contrary to it's name it's actually very refreshing with a floral taste. I think it's a good tea for hot weather since the taste itself is nice and light so you do get refreshed.
