Quite a bitter tea, especially in the early steeps. I found that even using 3.5g leaves and 190 degree water, I was skirting the border of it being too bitter in the early steeps. The flavor is grassy throughout, but about 6-7 steeps in, the bitterness drops off and is replaced with a nice brown sugar sweetness, though it certainly takes a while to get to it. I’ll keep experimenting with the rest of my sample to see what I can do to make it better.

Flavors: Bitter, Brown Sugar, Grass

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 0 min, 15 sec 3 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

Bio

A bit about myself: 22 years old, college grad (Double major in Anthropology and History). I plan to make a career of archaeology and hopefully travel (much of) the world in my days.

I enjoy many things aside from tea, including gaming, mixing cocktails, reading, watching anime, and painting miniatures.

My favorite type of tea is sheng puerh. Particularly younger stuff, if only because I haven’t gotten the chance to taste much of anything aged. I also really like oolong (Taiwanese, Wuyi, Dancong, etc.) and Japanese Green Teas. I do also enjoy most other kinds of tea, but they aren’t what I normally buy. I’m not a huge fan of shou puerh, black tea, or flavored blends, with few exceptions.

I really like interacting with the tea community, so if you ever want to talk or swap teas or anything, feel free to shoot me a message or something. Follow me and I’ll follow you back. Probably ;)
