This tea is excellent. I bought this because of Sarsonator’s review. It was on the mark. While I am usually a Shou drinker. I do have a Yixing reserved for Sheng. I brewed this seven times in a 140ml Yixing teapot with boiling water. I used 5.2g of leaves. I steeped it for 15 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 30 sec, 30 sec, 1 min and 2 min. There was some bitterness iin the early infusions but none of that Sheng unpleasantness often found in cheap Sheng. By the fourth steeping it was sweet and smooth. If it didn’t contain caffeine I might have brewed it several more times but I will want to drink something from my Teavivre black tea order later. I very much recommend this tea while Mandala still has it in stock.

Glad you liked this one, too. I bought it because of a review from Cwyn, and then also TheTeaFairy and MzPriss were raving about it. I spoke to Garrett at Mandala on Friday, and there were only 4 cakes left. I bought one, and then there were 3. If anyone else is interested, they should probably grab one now!
I am glad I bought it. I only steep a good tea seven times. Your review was accurate. You should check out the EBay seller missteapots. Everything I have got from her has been great. I think I have bought 5 teapots and one set of teacups, all yixing.
