This is a fairly expensive roasted oolong. It has a strong roast profile, tasting strongly of the roast throughout the first four or five steeps. In my opinion it is a little too roasted. It was quite nice in the seventh and eighth steeps if a little weak. A sweet note did develop when the roast faded, not sure what to call it.

I steeped this tea eight times in a 120ml gaiwan with 7.9g leaf and 200 degree water. I gave it a 10 second rinse and a 10 minute rest. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, and 30 sec. I think it was pretty much played out at eight steeps but I suppose I could have squeezed one or two more steeps out of it.

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.
