Thank You Mr Mopar for this sample. This is a strong and tasty tea. It is slightly bitter and very punchy. Wasn’t really paying attention to the specific notes but what I got was bitter apricots if that is possible. I think this tea has a strong Cha Qi.
I brewed this tea ten times in a 120ml gaiwan with 8.4g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse and a 10 minute rest. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, and 1 min. There was more to this tea but I am at my caffeine limit for today.
It is aging well.
