This is an interesting and very complex tea. I don’t know exactly how to describe it. It had a bit of a mediciny taste to it. It was somewhat unpleasant at first but this taste didn’t last. It improved over the ten steeps I gave it and became something if not incredible, enjoyable. The best way I can describe it as a sort of cross between an green oolong and a sheng puerh, having a bit of each and a whole different dimension as well.

I steeped this ten times in a 120ml gaiwan with 7.1g 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, 30 sec, 45 sec, and 1 min. I think it would have gone a few more steeps.

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.
