Summary: Smooth sweet dark honey yancha from W2T

Prep: 4-7g, 100cc gaiwan, 190F or boiling. Rinse, 10s, increasing from there for anywhere from 6-12 steeps.
Sessions with this tea: 10?

Taste: Starts off with easy mineral roasty herb or smoke or something (cannabis mentioned by previous reviewer, seems to fit in retrospect). Sweetness is apricot . No bitterness, no astringency. Turns into something inbetween floral and kinda dark honey or caramel flavored and that herby note drops out. Very sweet throughout.

Body: thick body. Sits down low in my abdomen. Mild background energy, not very bright.

A little on the sweet side for me, and probably will not buy again. The thick smooth body is very pleasant though.
