10th and final steep. 7m, boiling water. Queue fireworks and thunderous applause. I’m stopping, I’m stopping. I have 8g of this left and 4 others to try. Pretty sure a brick of this stuff would last me a lifetime. I am impressed. The last cup still had a lot of good flavor in it but I’m quitting. I’m quitting. O sweet leaf, I miss thee already. Oddly, before steeping I noticed the leaf is back to brown and it has taken on the most unusual flowery scent. Good ending. Can’t wait to read other’s experience with this tea.
I just noticed the tea info says 2010. I am pretty sure I entered this as 2011 but maybe I messed up?

The applause is for sticking with 10 steeps. My attention span is long gone before I try that many!
Once I run a new tea to its limits I seldom go to such extremes again. I learned the middle cups were the best.
