I received a sample of this from boychik. Thank you!
The peals are so big! They are also very pretty with the dark brown and copper tones mixed in. This is my second time with this tea. The first time I felt the tea was very weak. This time around i tried to remedy that by steeping at just under boiling and for the full 2 mins. The tea turned out well this time around. I am getting a lot of cocoa and hay flavor. For me this tea is not very sweet like some have mentioned. This is a tasty cup.
EDIT: The 2nd steeping on this one might be better than the first for me. This is almost like the dark roast of black tea.

I agree it’s not sweet like golden monkey or Dian hong, more like cocoa and maybe even some spice. I like it gong fu style;)
It seems quite a few of the black teas I have been enjoying lately might enhanced by the gong fu style so I just broke down and purchased my first gaiwan!
Oh, you are going to enjoy it. There is no way back for me. Except for Indian teas that’s western.
Yay for Gongfu Cha!
Enjoy your new gaiwan!
Thanks guys. I am excited!
