This tea started out poorly. There was a fishy note to the fermentation initially. This lasted about two steeps. The fermentation was a factor for about five steeps. It was bittersweet in the start. It did over twelve steeps evolve into something much nicer. I am on the fence, however if this was a real Dayi product or not. To me it did not completely taste like a real Dayi although it did improve remarkably. I am still waiting for Mr Mopar’s opinion about the wrapper of this cake as to if it looks real.

I brewed this twelve times in a 120ml gaiwan with 10g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse and a 10 minute rest. 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 min.

Here is one similar but the wrapping should have been the same.

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
