Bought 50g of this loose tea at the tea festival last Saturday. It is apparently not available on their website. So no picture with this tea. It is fairly good. It has a fair amount of fermentation flavor left. It’s not of the real unpleasant sort. It was dark an d rich in the early infusions tasting of dark chocolate. I can’t say it developed a fruity flavor later. It was also fairly bittersweet at first. Took a while to recede and leave the tea fairly sweet. Only gave it eight steeps because I want to move on to something else.
I steeped this tea eight times in a 120ml gaiwan with 10g 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, and 30 sec.
Flavors: Dark Bittersweet
I wonder if this is a ripe tea from the same area they get the raw huang pian cakes they sell.
