This is a relatively nice shou with a lot of fermentation flavor. It was initially sweet until the tea opened up. After this there was a bittersweet note for several steeps, bittersweet dark chocolate I think you could say. Then it evolved into a sweet note. Perhaps the word fruity describes it but I cannot pin it down specifically. It was quite enjoyable.

I steeped this twelve times in a 110ml teapot with 8gleaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, 1 min, 1.5 mini, and 2 minutes.

Flavors: Dark Bittersweet, Earth, Fruity, Sweet

Preparation
Boiling 8 g 4 OZ / 110 ML

Bio

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.
