Medium steep: I taste/smell; (smell) [same as light steep]. (Taste) light
—> book paper/parchment, bitterness. Medium -→ honey, wood, spices.
Heavy steep: I taste/smell; (smell) [same as light steep. Hard to tell if some aromas are missing]. (Taste) medium bitterness. Medium/strong
—→ honey, spices, wood.
All in all a extremely yummy tea! Cha qi imparts a complete relaxation. Very good! I rate a 99/100 only because it would be perfect if it had some earth and fermentation.
give it a go for what its worh! its almost a steal for the price! :D
