This is a very tasty but slightly, very slightly bitter tea. Next time I will lower the temperature to 190 degrees. It is a complex tea with a lot of different notes to it. The ones from the list I can notice are malt first and foremost, then dried fruit, molasses, smoke and sugar. The tea does not quite live up to one thing that struck me in the description, it was fried in raw cane sugar. You would think it would be even sweeter. Still it is quite good and rates highly in my book.
I brewed this once in an 18oz teapot with boiling water and 3 tsp leaf for 3 min.
Flavors: Dried Fruit, Malt, Molasses, Smoke, Sugar
Allan i prefer this gongfu.
I rarely gongfu in the morning but will try it sometime.
