This tea is good, end of statement. It is among the very best. The cedar, vanilla, and tea blend perfectly. There is strong notes of vanilla and cedar in the early infusions. The cedar slowly gets weaker while the vanilla seems to get stronger. Even in the sixth steep the vanilla is strong. There is no bitterness to the tie guan yin tea used for this tea, it is very smooth. I steeped this six times and it did not appreciably weaken at all. It was strong tea throughout.

I steeped this six times in a 150ml gaiwan with 5.5g leaf and 190 degree water. I steeped it for 15 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, and 2 min. I have not yet thrown out the leaves and may go back for more.
