I have used two grams I get from derk and brewed gongfu.
While it was a good method for expanding leaves, in taste it was pretty much boring. Yes, I get the sweetness, some woodyness, yeasty; raisins and dates from fruits, it was everything I managed to get. It wasn’t much keeping the pace; and after several steeps I was bored with this tea (as well with the lecture I was listening to).

Maybe I have underleafed it? 2 grams per 100 ml in gaiwan (using less water than full volume of new gaiwan). Were steeps too short? Expectations were higher. Steep time below is average of all steeps. I haven’t counted how many of them, though. But I let it on average one minute steep.

Two steeps western into the work thermos.

Smooth and full bodied with a woody, drying finish. Two layers of sweetness: one that is deep and fruity like dates, and a higher pitched floral sugar tone. Caffeine low — probably not the best tea to choose for a 6am Saturday shift but I wanted something mellow. I don’t remember much else. It’s an old tea in a stamped pouch.

Flavors: Dates, Drying, Floral, Fruity, Nutmeg, Smooth, Sugar, Sweet, Wood

TeaSource sells a Brandy Oolong that I adore. Not sure if this is the same thing or not, but that has always been one of my favs.
