This is a fantastic tea. I wanted a big cup of this so I brewed it in a 250ml glass teapot, but brewed it more gongfu style than western. I brewed 8.2g in 250ml of water. This tea is among the best black teas I have ever had. It is slightly malty but not to strong. It is somewhat chocolaty. It is just really good. The flavor of it is amazing. It is not cheap. I figure this brewing session cost me roughly $6 as the tea was $35 for 50g. Definitely not a tea I want to brew in my standard Western style for black teas in a 16oz Teapot for 3 minutes. I would buy this again if they still have it when I run out. It’s just too expensive to stock up on when I still have most of a tin of it.
I brewed this five times in a 250ml glass teapot with 8.2g leaf and boiling water. I steeped it for 20 sec, 30 sec, 40 sec, 1 min, and 1.5 min. I think I could get a lot more out of this and may yet go back for a few more steeps.
