Gentle roasted character. Some bitterness. Soft lingering dryness on the finish.

Third steeping. Boiling water. 10 seconds. Still a 3g/4oz tea to water ratio. Several hours since the second steeping. Still tasty, could have used a bit longer steep (+5 seconds). A bit more watery then earlier.

Quick rinse with boiling water followed by a short steep. 3 grams in 4oz/water. Steeping longer than a few moments really draws out an astringency in this tea. Flavor-wise, it is briny, almost like seaweed. With light honeyed oxidation. A medium bodied mouthfeel. Some lingering sweetness.

One of my hard habit to break teas. First cup of the day with breakfast. Sweetened with a small bit of sugar and milk.
