Thank you Marcus Reed for this sample. While I didn’t feel any noticeable effect from this tea it is quite good. It was sweet with little bitterness and just a little astringency. In fact there were notes reminiscent of honey in this tea, not quite but close. This is a tea I would consider buying. I’ve been meaning to order from Chawangshop for a while now.

I steeped this tea ten times in a 120ml gaiwan with 7.9g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse and about a 15 minute rest. The leaves were very densely packed. It was not until the third steep that they began to open up. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, and 1 min.
