Needs room in the infuser as the leaves expand quite a lot. I can taste the creamy, nutty and buttery flavor as described but not as much as the first jin xuan I tried at a random ramen restaurant. Turns bitter quickly so don’t let it steep longer than 3 mins, at least for the first steep. Tastes grassy if not steeped enough. 3 mins is perf.

Very malty and cocoa. How I learned I loved savory black teas. Ordered the Yunnan Gold from Adagio Teas but maybe I oversteeped it? Bitter and doesn’t compare.
