This tea was one I did not like that much. It was sour in the initial note and astringent for the first four steeps. It wasn’t actually terrible it is just that the initial notes were unpleasant and I only steeped this eight times because it was already late in the day for me to have caffeine.

I steeped this eight times in a 75ml teapot with 5.9g leaf 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, and 30 sec.

Preparation
Boiling 5 g 3 OZ / 75 ML

This has likely hit that one year mark where it is starting to ferment. Last year it was lovely. Must be time to stash it away for some years.

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.
