This is an excellent tea from Streeetshop88. Its not quite as good as the Mandala Noble Mark, but its good. I steeped this five times over three hours as I was adding many puerh teas to my cupboard. I have now nearly finished, just my non puerhs to go.
I steeped this in a 250 ml yixing for 15 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 15 sec, and 30 sec. I used boiling water. I detect some chocolate notes and a few others I can’t put my finger on. It was sweet tasting in the first steeping, slightly bitter in the second, then quite smooth after the third. Streetshop88 has sold me some pretty good teas and this one does not disappoint.

That is a beautiful pot!
Yes, it is my favorite and one I keep displayed on my tea table, along with a similar pot from the same potter, basically the same dragon style, only bigger. The seller missteapots is great. She has several more similar pots i would like to add to my collection but I don’t have the money right now.
