My second tea today comes from Liquid Proust. It was an unknown ripe aged in a rum barrel. It was pretty good tea. The rum flavoring had the interesting effect of overwhelming the fermentation taste. I didn’t notice any at all but I am sure it was there. The rum taste was initially quite strong. It lasted into the twelfth steep that I gave this tea. It was not strong in later steeps but was present.

I steeped this twelve times in a 150ml gaiwan with 10.3g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, 1 min, 1.5 min, and 2 minutes. I could have gotten a few more steeps out of it but figured I was at my caffeine limit for today.
