This is excellent tea with a moderate amount of fermentation flavor. The fermentation taste that was there was neither unpleasant nor fishy. There was very little bitterness to this tea. It had a sweet taste from the start. The fermentation lasted perhaps four or five steeps and then was gone. Not sure how to describe the sweet note that was the dominant note here. But it was good.

I steeped this twelve times in a 150ml gaiwan with 12.2g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse. 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 have generally gotten good tea from John at King Tea on Aliexpress and this is no exception.

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.
