I liked this tea. But I really failed to pin down the flavor notes in it. It was malty, somewhat bitter, and somewhat astringent. It also had some complex notes. I really didn’t pick them out. Today I have been going through some of the teas I bought from Taiwan Sourcing a couple of months ago now. This one was a good tea.
I steeped this tea eight times in a 150ml gaiwan with 7.7g leaf and boiling water. I steeped it for 10 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, and 30 sec. I could have kept going but I feel like drinking something else. The tea was not done at eight steeps.
