I usually enjoy my black teas more on the weaker side.
My parameters: 95 °C/300 ml/5 g/20 sec; up to 3 infusions
This tea is a mix of twisted and broken leaves with some larger stem pieces. When infused they all became mushy.
Despite the short steeping time this tea was full bodied and intensive. The taste was mellow and sweet with subtle aroma of musky and malt. No bitterness or astringency.
