Please note that this review is based on a single western style steep. This is a tasty ripe tea with a fair amount of fermentation flavor. That flavor is not unpleasant. It is somewhat sweet with little bitterness. It brews up dark and rich to a slightly creamy cup. It is a good choice for 3:30 in the morning when I can’t sleep and I am too lazy for gongfu cha.
I brewed this one time in a teavana glass perfect tea maker/gravity steeper with 11g leaf or 2 mini tuo cha and boiling water. I gave it a long 20 second rinse to break up the mini tuo cha. I brewed it for 30 sec.

So you wake up at 3:30am and decide to brew some tea. How did you got back to sleep after that?
I assumed I wasn’t getting back to sleep regardless so I figured I might as well have some tea. I actually did get back to sleep though, don’t ask me how.
