This tea is pretty good. It is sweet with mineral notes is the best description I can give. It had a fair amount of astringency to it too. It is not roasted. It had fair lasting power as I gave it ten steeps and all indications are it would have gone a few more steeps. It was sweet enough so as to need no sugar. A year ago I would have added sugar to this tea. This is probably my last gongfu session for another week as I am going to have to pack my last gaiwan after this session as I begin moving tomorrow.

I steeped this tea ten times in a 120ml gaiwan with 7.1g leaf and 190 degree 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, and 1 min.
