I have a mixed reaction to this tea. It had its good points and its bad points. It had a note that I would describe as roasted chestnuts. It also had a note that was just plain a little flat with no other way I can think to describe it. For the price of it I’m not too disappointed. I think it was just over $20 for 150g. I will try cold brewing this one tomorrow and see what I get. I do think the flat note was not as strong in latter steeps.

I steeped this eight times in a 120ml gaiwan with 7.1g leaf and 190 degree 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, and 30 sec. Unless this turns out to be really good iced I probably wouldn’t buy this one again.
