Medium steep: I taste/smell; the same as light steep. (Weird)
Heavy steep: I taste/smell; strong smoke.
strong to almost overpowering —→ bitterness, green grapes, peaches, apricots, floral, cream. Very strong mouth drying effect.
All in all, a wonderful tea! Nice aroma, tastes, and cha qi. However the dry mouth effect is creepy. I rate a 99.
