Traditional tie luo han spring 2018. I like this tea, it has strong malty and roasty shent. I rinsed the tea, then I steeped for 10/15/20/25/30/35/40/45 seconds 1.5 minutes with 96 C water. The liquor is clear and orange, it darken a bit once in the cup.
First comes the malt and roast aroma, then a strong mineral taste starts to built on and it lasts until the end. The taste become like sour and after some infusions you fill a pleasant astringency in the back of your throat.
It is complex and with strong character
