Preparation: Gongfu
Tasting Note:
First steep: Floral notes, little astringency, very faint wood notes. Very pretty colored liquid though: it was sort of a peachy-amber.
2-4th steep: Floral notes fade and wood notes more prominent, slight astringent
5th steep: Least astrigent, more wood notes but not overwhelming, and something very faintly fruity in the aftertaste- mix between peach and cherry.
So I definitely didn’t double check my order before I checked out for this tea. I order a quantity of two (each 25 g )for this tea when I hadn’t even tried it yet. After tasting, I wish I didn’t accidentally buy that second bag. It’s by no means bad or boring, it just didn’t stick out to me as something that I would drink that much of. Definitely something I would be willing to share in a TTB or swap.
Flavors: Astringent, Floral, Wood
