I have a few small quantities of various young sheng puerh teas and I agree with the other commenters that the very recent young sheng teas (2008-present) are tough on digestion and tend to show powerful and unbalanced astringency to my palate.

However, just now I am drinking the 2003 Yi Wu sheng and it has such a nice balance of taste and color, moving from pale straw color with a mild flavor of smoke and earth on to a deep amber golden hue and a sweetness in the back of the throat that really pleases me.  I wish I could obtain more of this tea!
