I want to steep this tea another time before I rate it. First off, I steeped this tea like every other pu’er that I have. Initially, I loved the color of the liquor which was a reddish-orange to me. The flavor was incredible, it was everything that I love in a sheng pu’er but really, really mellow. I felt like I was in love. Then steeping six. Maybe I messed up my timing, maybe I didn’t use enough leaves. I don’t know. All I know is after steeping six, the flavor was there, but it was really, really weak. So I steeped number seven like I would steep number nine, I steeped the heck out of it. Not as weak, but it was still weak. So like I said let me steep this again. As of now: steepings 1-5 I give a 97, steepings 6 and 7, I give a 50.
