This was a cheap brick. That being said it was a really delicious tasting cheap brick. It started out with a bit of a woody note to it, not sure exactly how to describe the note. It had a fair amount of fermentation taste to it but this was not unpleasant or fishy to me. It developed a nice sweet note to it. To go out on a bit of a limb perhaps a dates note to it. I didn’t pay very much for this brick but it was worth every penny. This is one I would consider stocking up on. It was that good.

I steeped this twelve times in a 150mml gaiwan with 11.2g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, 1 min, 1.5 min, and 2 min. I could have gotten a few more steeps out of this tea but twelve was enough for me.
