REVIEW 1:
8 grams of leaf, 100 C water, 70ml Chaozhou teapot, 6 seconds per steep
Dry leaf: To be reviewed
The tea was packaged in 8 packets of 8 grams of loose leaf tea. Upon opening the package I saw that the tea leaves were a reddish brown color. That may indicate that this tea is charcoal roasted. The wet leaf is amazingly sweet with peach and mango notes with hints of almonds, pear and honey. The liquor has a dark amber color indicating that this one is most likely charcoal roasted！Even more surprising is that I’ve bought this tea from an Asian supermarket (Amazing Oriental, Netherlands). The tea has a nice nutty, peachy and floral aroma and a clear and mineral texture. I should re-review this tea because I’ve gone full Teochew mode on this tea, using a whole packet of 8 grams with a 70ml Chaozhou teapot! The bitterness was pretty intense and the astringency was pretty pronounced. Even though I am Teochew I just cannot get used to the heritage brewing method of the Teochews because they use a ton of leaves and a little bit of water when brewing their favorite beverage. So this concludes my first review and I bet this is a pretty good tea but I brewed it much too harsh for it to be enjoyable.
