I think I finally found the right preparation for this tea. Unfortunately, my sense of smell is severely compromised due to sinus issues at the moment, so I still can’t fully appreciate this tea. From what I can tell, the flavor is much better-developed than in my first tasting, but the astringency of the second tasting has been avoided.

Ratings
I calculate my overall rating of a tea from weighted scores of the dry leaf, wet leaf, and (most importantly) liquor. My overall scoring ranges are as follows:
71–100: These teas are “recommended”. When replenishing my supplies, I am likely to consider purchasing larger quantities of these teas.
50–70: These teas are neither “recommended” nor “not recommended”. When replenishing my supplies, I may consider purchasing sample quantities of these teas, if I feel there is potential for improvement by adjusting the steeping parameters.
0–49: These teas are “not recommended”. When replenishing my supplies, I am very unlikely to consider these teas.
