This is a tasty ripe with a fair amount of fermentation flavor left. It began to clear around the fourth steep. It was sweet in nature throughout these steeps but got somewhat fruity in later steeps. This is a good and inexpensive tea from Berylleb King Tea on EBay. They just call it Yunnan Old Comrade but I believe it is a Haiwan Tea Factory production.

I steeped this eight times in a 180ml teapot with 12.8g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse and a 10 minute rest. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, and 30 sec. I think if I had wanted to continue past eight steeps I would have gotten another six or so steeps out of the tea.
