Hmm the dry aroma isn’t as strong as I remember. The flavor is the same. Though I also could have oversteeped… I will return to this one and do a gong fu session to see if I can bring something better out.
Gong fu: They want it steeped at 195. I’m doing 190 and wondering if it needs to come down to 175. It’s astringent and metallic. Nothing very pleasant present. Second steep at a few seconds yielded nothing so I tossed it back in. Now at a few minutes I’m getting freshly broken twigs and lots of greenwood.
