I liked this tea. But I really failed to pin down the flavor notes in it. It was malty, somewhat bitter, and somewhat astringent. It also had some complex notes. I really didn’t pick them out. Today I have been going through some of the teas I bought from Taiwan Sourcing a couple of months ago now. This one was a good tea.

I steeped this tea eight times in a 150ml gaiwan with 7.7g leaf and boiling water. I steeped it for 10 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, and 30 sec. I could have kept going but I feel like drinking something else. The tea was not done at eight steeps.

Preparation
Boiling 7 g 150 OZ / 4436 ML

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
