I have used two grams I get from derk and brewed gongfu.
While it was a good method for expanding leaves, in taste it was pretty much boring. Yes, I get the sweetness, some woodyness, yeasty; raisins and dates from fruits, it was everything I managed to get. It wasn’t much keeping the pace; and after several steeps I was bored with this tea (as well with the lecture I was listening to).

Maybe I have underleafed it? 2 grams per 100 ml in gaiwan (using less water than full volume of new gaiwan). Were steeps too short? Expectations were higher. Steep time below is average of all steeps. I haven’t counted how many of them, though. But I let it on average one minute steep.
