Bought this tea from Dragon Tea House a while ago and am just now getting around to trying it. It is pretty good. There was a fair amount of fermentation flavor in the early steeps. It was what you could describe as thick and creamy too. It was sweet in nature. I was not paying close enough attention to it to say there were chocolate notes but that is possible. It did develop a fruity flavor in later steeps. Unfortunately Dragon Tea House must have sold out of this, it is no longer on their site. In fact I had to take my own picture for the catalog on this one.

I steeped this ten times in a 120ml gaiwan with 8.5g 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. If I wanted to continue I’m sure I could have gotten a few more steeps out of the tea.
