This tea is very good. It is one of the best ripes I have had in a while. It is sweet with virtually no earthy flavor left. It has developed a nice flavor that I think is usually called a dates flavor. There is no smoke or camphor or off taste to this tea. It is really good. I am glad I bought the whole bing and not a sample. I steeped this a grand total of twelve times before dumping the leaves because I had had enough tea and was at my daily caffeine limit and then some. But had I wanted to continue I could have gotten a few more good steeps out of this tea. I think it might have gone twenty steeps. It definitely would have gone fifteen. The tea had gotten a little weaker at steep twelve but had not become weak tea yet.

I steeped this twelve times in a 120ml gaiwan with 9.2g leaf and boiling water. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, 1 min, 1.5 min and 2 min.

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.
