First impression tea notes:
2020 Jinggu (200g)
https://www.liquidproust.com/listing/936595693/2020-jinggu-200g

Parameters:
12.2g/100ml water @ 212F gongfu style with short steeps

Taste:
Green bean, a bit green teaish in character (despite having some reddish tinged leaves suggesting some oxidation).
Some of the more traditionally shengy tart apricot and pear flavors.
Moderate bitterness and astringency (I have not had green tea for awhile but again this tea feels like it has a bit of green tea character to it in the way it goes down).
Relatively straightforward but pleasant and easy to drink.

Conclusion:
Seems like a fairly priced daily drinker young sheng, especially if you like a bit of green tea character. Probably a decent cake for newcomers to young sheng as well. At 200g/$20 I don't have any substantial complaints. Though if you dislike green bean taste you may want to stay away.
