Today I am drinking a 90’s Liu Bao in a swap from a good tea friend, an international swap. This is a powerful, in your face sort of tea. It has a strong taste of either wet wood or bamboo, not sure which is a better descriptor. I gave this tea ten steeps because I do not have to be up early tomorrow so caffeine is not an issue today.

I steeped this tea ten times in a 150ml gaiwan with 6.5g leaf and boiling water. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, 1 min, and 1.5 min.
