Raw pu-erh n00b here, but this one gives me only astringency with no flavour payoff. I don’t know about cha qi or anything but this tea is just unforgiving to brew – the first infusion was lovely and light (but no particular fruity or floral notes) and gets astringent really quickly in subsequent infusions. No thank you and happy to be almost done with this sample.
[Brewed in an Yixing zisha teapot at 100˚C, 5s then 10s then 10s.]
