This is a never before opened sample that I got when I bought some yixing pots from Essence of Tea.

The leaves are big and dark and twisty. On first sniff, I didn’t get much out of them at all, but sitting with my nose in the packet for a while, I get a mild smell of earth and trees. Not toasty roasty or sharp at all.

Four steeps in gaiwan after rinsing, in 5 second increments starting with 15.

The tea is golden yellow, maybe a bit darker than that. I want to say bronze yellow. The color got a bit lighter by the fourth steep.

As with the scent of the dry leaf, I didn’t get a ton of aroma out of this on the initial steep. As I got more attuned to the tea, I started to get a smell reminiscent of walnuts. Sometimes it is more the bitter, shell scent. Sometimes and more often, the meaty mild nutty scent. I could go so far as to liken it to stonefruit pits.

By the second steep, a sweetness started to emerge. Again, nothing roasty or toasty or smoky, but a sort of raisin or honey smell and flavor.

It doesn’t do a lot for me, unfortunately. It is tasty enough, and it gets high marks for not being overly roasty. But It’s not bowling me over.
