This is really good tea. It had a lot of fermentation flavor in the early steeps. It had a delicious thick tea soup early on, I think that you would use the word creamy. It was slightly bitter in the first two steeps but this did not linger. It was naturally sweet in nature and lasted quite well. I steeped it ten times with only a seven gram sample in a 125ml gaiwan so ten steeps is impressive considering that I’m sure I could get two more steeps out of the sample. I usually use 10g in this gaiwan but I like the way this gaiwan pours so the 125ml it was. I will definitely want to purchase at least one or more of these cakes. I think this might be worth a tong purchase.

I steeped this tea ten times in a 125ml gaiwan with 7g leaf and boiling water. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, and 2 min.

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
