6g, 95ml F1 shuiping yixing, very dark leaves, made me think it was purple tea at first. Fairly clean storage, but you get some of that wetness in there, its not unpleasant but noticeable.

dry leaves smell richly/sweet but that doesn’t translate to flavors.

liquor is clear orange-amber, thick body/mouthfeel, very woody/sour/tannic leather-like flavor, not sweet at all don’t know why everyone else says it is, medium longevity (about 10+ steeps), medium cooling huigan that is very noticeable – don’t have to look for it, lingering tannic/sour/bitter kuwei and aftertaste, chaqi is very nice – massaging and gentle pressure in middle forehead and upper sinuses, makes you sit back and enjoy it.

needs a bit more time to air out and mellow.

I like all teas but mostly drink sheng and Taiwan oolong.

My tea notes are just thoughts that come to mind as I drink, so I jot them down. There’s no format to them, just what I want to remember from the experience.

Oh, and why isn’t there a “bacon” flavor option on steepster?
