Yesterday I received the Puerh Tea TTB in the mail. Today I am starting on the teas. I just drank the Longyuanhao 2016 Banzhang Sheng. I don’t know the origin of this tea or if it is a real Banzhang. I was, however, pretty good tea. It was strong and fairly bitter but with a sweet aftertaste. After a number of steeps the bitterness was gone and I was left with a nice sweet tea. Maybe apricots but I am not certain of that. It was good.
I steeped this tea ten times in a 75ml teapot with 5.1g leaf and boiling water. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, and 1 minute.
Flavors: Bitter, Sweet

Glad you enjoyed it! I threw that in the last time the box went around. Who knows if its truly from Banzhang or not but it is a nice tea. I got mine from Verdant on sale awhile back. Unfortunately Verdant probably marked it up quite a bit.
