This 1995 Dong Ding was highly reroasted more recently but I do not have what year.
It brews for quite a while with the steep coming off. This one particularly while nothing too special had me feel really relaxed.

smell isn’t too interesting, just the roast basically. boiling, Brita filtered tap, 1.8g in 16 oz thermos, 2 quick rinses. The taste is just of the roast. Something like a lite version of the Zhang Hui Chun Strongest Roast from EoT; around the same price (40c/g for this, 44c/g for the EoT version assuming you aren’t bulk purchasing). Very slight minty aftertaste. It’s not bad, but if you’re looking for an aged oolong, like I was, you can’t taste it here. None of the usual plummy or caramel notes. If you’re just looking for a strong roast that doesn’t kill the tea though, this is okay. The EoT ZHC SR is richer and worth the 4c/g premium. I disagree that it steeps out for a long time; it didn’t for me. Got about one refill out of this, and I generally get much more. I don’t think not rinsing vs. rinsing should’ve affected it that much.
