Upton Tea ImportsHmm nice I like this, I’m brewing with a 90ml Gaiwan gongfu cha:
It starts out sweet and spiced, with a bit of vegetality, and a hint of meat notes. It has a very thick mouthfeel, but very smooth and silky.
Second steep is thicker, sweeter, less meaty, almost a bit of cucumber, spinach, even hints of citrus.
Third steep is less complex, I definitely choked on this steep, so uh its sort of grassier and getting a slight astringency.
Fourth has less of the spices, a bit of carrotty notes, its very leafy, lettuce and spinach
Fifth is sweeter, peas, carrots, slightly bitter and moderately astringent now. it still has that very silky thick mouthfeel, which is really quite nice.
Sixth is a bit darker, its getting very astringent now, but still even sweeter and predominantly vegetal.
Seventh is a bit weaker, very astringent and bitter, a bit of rocky and earthy notes,
Eighth is getting overwhelmingly astringent, slightly metallic, vegetal and citrus
Ninth has much citrus, less sweet
Flavors: Astringent, Carrot, Citrus, Cucumber, Earth, Grass, Lettuce, Meat, Metallic, Peas, Spinach, Sweet, Vegetables, Vegetal, Wet Rocks
