I have to up my rating on this one. I’ve finally cracked it. 3g of tea for 300ml of water just off boiling for 4 minutes gives an excellent brew. The maltiness comes through nice and strong as does the distinct character of the tea (which I attribute to it being wild arbor) without the astringency. Gives a second decent steep at 5 minutes.

This is a good reminder of why its definitely a good idea to play around with steeping parameters.

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 3 g 10 OZ / 300 ML

8 years since I started the journey down this rabbit hole. My everyday drinker currently is a Dian Hong and overall I do enjoy hongcha a lot. Have developed a taste for aged sheng that isn’t healthy for my wallet.
