Thanks.
Sheng is used to describe uncooked in the sense that it is raw. Shen means
to be born, raw, new, original.
Ther green tea character (two crosses or one line with two vertical notches
on the top, roof below it and a large cross with two tails (tree) below the
roof is CHA (tea), not zhong. See below.

Sasha, thanks for supplying the pinyin. I noticed that after I did the
post. I still can't use a radical dictionary. I don't know how Liùan
is suppose to taste. I'd describe it as a pleasant aromatic shu with
occasional pungent sheng notes. There is an aftertaste on the tongue
with trail to stomach. I've got two baskets one expensive and one
cheap. I think the expensive taste a little better but I'd save my
money and stick with the cheap. I use zhong to describe the emblem of
the green tea character surrounded by the red chain links on the
wrappers. Somebody else used it first. While I'm here just a few more
characters for edification:
jí,grade

shú,ripe,cook

sheng,unripe,uncook

PS: I was going to do a Russian greeting but Google only lets me use
use Unicode with a Unicode post.

Heretofore all my Yunnan green and white boxes are shu tuocha with
the
zhong emblem and no grading. Foo opens up his box and finds a
Xiaguan
emblem with grading. I assume it is cooked because of his
description
of the taste. My twenty year old box with the original tuocha and
recent purchase have enough blemishes so somebody could make a
killing
selling the new for the old. Foo one of the green characters
should
match the following grades. The other green character means
'grade'.
