Brewed gong fu style, 4g leaf to 100ml water for about 20s.
Color is a lovely light pale green. Wet leaves smell wonderfully vegetal.
Flavour is a good rich green tea flavour – vegetal and a rich brothiness with slight sweetness and some very slight spicy notes and a very slight nuttiness
Mouthfeel is rich and full with no astringency at all.

Spice flavours start appearing more on the second infusion, and mouthfeel is less full.
Astringency is appearing, but isn’t overwhelming.
