3 Tasting Notes
The infusion was almost transparent, with an strong aroma. The flavour has a natural sweetness, herbal and nutty notes and a bit buttery. Two good infusions and a weak third in my gaiwan.
It’s not bad, nothing special, but good.
Preparation
The leafs are broken and predominates a roasted aroma.
I brewed this Big Red Robe in a gaiwan with a good tea/water ratio. The first infusion was like 20 seconds to test the strength of the tea, and it was a weak, with subtile aroma and roasted and acidic taste.
For the second steep brewed for 1 minute. The tea gained a bit of body, but the taste notes didn’t evolved, nor even increased.
Maybe this is a tea that works better in a western brewing style (big mug and long steeping time).
It didn’t impress me, not a big deal.
