Thank you Liquid Proust for organizing and packing all these samples from the Aged Oolong Sampler. Trying the 1986 Tung Ting today. While I won’t say I didn’t enjoy it it’s a little too roasty for my tastes. I steeped this tea fifteen times and I think it would go a few more steeps if I had a desire to continue. It was roasty to the end. There was another note behind the roast, a kind of a sweet note but I’m not sure how to describe it. Drinking this was an experience, that is for sure. This is not one that I would go out and buy more of. I am still more of a ripe puerh fan at heart.
I steeped this tea fifteen times in a 60ml gaiwan with 4.7g leaf and 190 degree water. I didn’t give this one a rest I was in a hurry. I did give it a 10 second rinse. 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, 2 min, 2.5 min, 3 min, and 3.5 min. Not entirely sure if I’m feeling any qi off of this one.
Flavors: Roasted
