A really neat tea blend. It is a chameleon, a shape shifter. Brewed gongfu style in my gaiwan, I did a flash rinse. First infusion was for 10 seconds. A good portion of the rolled leaves had already almost completely opened upon the first infusion while others still stayed fairly tightly packed. This would be a good precursor to how this tea would change throughout the session depending on what leaves were wakening at different times.
Overall though, this was a pretty consistently delicious blend. The changes in flavor and slight astringency were subtle throughout. The color of the liquor was mostly a hay yellow. A good tea buzz kicked in after the 4th steep. I like it!
