First tasting of this tea. Thank you for the sample.
Started with 8g/100ml porcelain gaiwan. Rinse and short steeps of 10-15 sec. Notes of peach in the aroma and taste. Becomes bitter if oversteeped, but the kind of bitterness that develops into sweet gan. Second steep brings out a thick soup. After 3rd proper steep I feel this tea is somehow strong, I can feel some buzz in my head.
Session goes till 10 steeps before starting to fade out and start needing more steep time. At this point I find some leathery and fresh tobacco hints.

Flavors: Apricot, Bitter, Peach, Stonefruit

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 0 min, 15 sec 8 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

This is a thick and strong one. I had to adjust my brewing as well.
