This tea is good. The first note I noticed was the roasted barley, it was prominent. I could also taste the notes of cocoa, scotch, and toast. It was a very smooth tea with just a little bitterness, however the bitterness was pleasant. I did not notice much qi but there was a little.

I steeped this six times in a 180ml teapot with 190 degree water and 6g leaf. I steeped it for 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, and 35 sec. There was a beautiful golden color to the first infusion and a golden brown color afterwards.

Flavors: Cocoa, Roasted Barley, Scotch, Toasty

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 0 min, 15 sec 6 g 180 OZ / 5323 ML

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
