Smells deep and smoky.

First steep is a lightish amber. It’s smooth and smoky, and I’m getting roasted seaweed and smoked salmon. rhinkle says “watery fish.” Mineral aftertaste. The empty cup has that fruity heicha scent that fades to a light smokiness.

In the second steep, I feel like the flavors both lighten up and balance out a bit more. The liquor becomes noticeably more viscous in the third steep (especially so the more I let the liquor cool), with more of that sour fruity flavor that I associate with heicha along with the deep, roasted notes.

After the fourth steep, a nice sweetness starts to come through. Enjoyed quite a few more steeps, as well. This carried me through to the end of the day and I may be able to push it even farther.

I like tea, mostly unflavored. I drink all tea, with a preference for teas from China, Japan and Taiwan, with some exceptions.

I don’t rate until I have had a tea several times unless it makes a very strong, immediate impact.
