4g tea
about 5 oz water
Zealong’s website suggests about 5g per 5oz, so thats why the low amount of water.
Aroma is strong and nutty and finishes with a lingering sweetness.
The color is a light pale yellow. The leaves were rather large and dark, they have not unfurled completely.
This is a very smooth tea, the flavor does not come across nearly as strong as the aroma. There is no bitterness, no astringency. The subtle flavors may be overwhelmed by the stronger iced Assam i just finished prior. Will have to see if the re-steeps alleviate that and maybe adjust the rating higher.
