Thank you to the good tea friend who was nice enough to provide this sample. I actually drank this earlier today but am just now getting around to reviewing it. It was tasty. It had a nice aged color and taste. It was smooth and not bitter. It seemed like I detected a hint of smoke there but am not sure. There was a slight sour note in the early steeps that eventually went away. I steeped this brick eight times so far. I may go back to it tomorrow.

I steeped this eight times in a 150ml gaiwan with 8g leaf and 200 degree water. I gave it a 10 sec rinse and let the leaves sit for 10 min to open up. I don’t know if this actually did anything. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 30 sec, and 1 min.
