Slight sweetness and creaminess. This one definitely benefited from a longer infusion time at a higher temperature

My western infusion brew parameters that I usually use for my Milk Oolongs did not work well with this one. I will have to infuse for a shorter amount of time in the future.

Dilute and plain-tasting. Slight matcha-like flavour and sweetness.

The 3 minute infusion really brings out some the complex flavour in this tea. I still detect the chamomile subtle sweetness. There is also a sweet grassy tone. Abstractly, I would describe the overal flavour as brassy and shiny. It has both a thin (on the tip of the tongue) and thick mouthfeel (still provides an umami savoury sensation).

1 teabag used. I am detecting hardly any flavour. Mild jasmine.

Thanks to Sil for sharing!

Malty. Note of beer. Mango flavour is subtle. Black tea is slightly brisk.

Very soft flavour. Black tea flavour is bordering on astringent but the flavour is too faint to tell. Berry flavour is quite mild- almost just an aroma. Immediate aftertaste mouth-feel is soft, light and creamy.

Pu-erh flavour comes out a bit more with the longer infusion time. I may want to try extending the infusion time further next time.
