Brewed this one up today. I notice I had the same problem as Christina. The chuck of tea just didn’t want to break up and I had to break it up manually. I did two quick rinses and then 10,10,10,10,15,15. Most of the infusions I took a few sips and threw out. It had a strong fermentation flavour and was just too woody & earthy. Later steeps it smoothed out a bit more but there was nothing there really pulling me in with this tea. I think this tea could go numerous steeps so I would be interesting to see what it tastes like after steep 6 or 7. I didn’t take it that far since it had major caffeine kick and was bothering my stomach a bit.

I remember when I drank this it made me feel all fidgety and strung out like I had just pulled an all-nighter. Was your experience similar?
A bit. With each infusion I was only taking a small amount in and discarding the rest to minimize the caffeine. I still ending up feeling fidgety. I wonder what the caffeine content of this tea is.
