This is one tasty black tea. It is slightly malty, just slightly. Another reviewer said it tasted like molasses, this is a fairly good description of the sweet note to this tea. There is very little bitterness and very little astringency to this tea. It just tastes good to me. Not really feeling the effects of the GABA though, perhaps when I am done with my last cup?

I steeped this eight times in a 120ml gaiwan with 7g leaf and boiling 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 would have gone a couple of more steeps if I hadn’t reached my caffeine limit for the day and then some.

Flavors: Molasses

Preparation
Boiling 7 g 4 OZ / 120 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.
