Review
I brewed this tea using a small Yixing teapot and standard bottled water.
First Steep
Steeped for 20 seconds.
Good flavor for a first steep.
Fruity, floral, with a bright tang, almost like an orange marmalade.
Second Steep
Steeped for 25 seconds.
A bit brash and green.
This is noticeably more bitter than the first steep.
This tea would likely benefit from a few years of aging to smooth it out and add a layer of complexity to the flavor profile.
Third Steep
Steeped for 30 seconds.
Consistent flavor, but a little rough on the stomach.
