5g 100ml 210f flash steeping at first then lengthening slowly. (going by feel. i never time sheng)
color of liquor is golden brown
wet leaves are barbeque along with something like brown sugar maybe
tea liquor aroma is slightly smokey and inscensy with caramelized sugar or maybe honey
lid is minty smokey and slightly caramelized sugar
epty gaiwan is caramelized sugar
(drank the first steep before writing this)
2nd: very slight bitterness and astringency smokey and i guess what you could call metallic notes cooling and thick
maybe some fruitiness (new to raw so im not quite sure what im tasting yet)
4th: still a little bitter and drying but im detecting earthiness and minerality at the back of the throat and maybe some
fruitiness at the back of the tongue quite puckering
6th: cut the steeping time a bit on this one. the bitterness is gone but there is still a little bit of astringency
the minerality is feels like a honey sweetness. note i didnt say taste but feels that way. very light huigan t this stage
8th: metal edge and astringency is still there seems rather dead flavor wise at this point
wet leaves were still pretty green
im new to this kind of tea so i cant say whether bad or good
Flavors: Fruity, Honey, Metallic, Mineral, Smoke
