(Gongfu, 5g/150ml/205 degrees/10 sec +5ff) VERY interested to try this herbal.
Dry leaf is lightly fruity and vaguely smells of dry herbs, with tobacco overtones. Wet leaf is similar with fruity notes slightly stronger.
First infusion 10 sec (forgot I was going to do a wash!), broth is very pale greenish golden. Aroma is a bit like green tea vegetal, but with a little fruity funkiness. Taste lives up to that smell – a fairly savory green tea base with earthy fruit notes. Steeps 2ff are still savory/meaty; a little mineral crispness, but smooth. Picking up on a medicinal aftertaste that grows stronger with each infusion after the first couple. After the fifth steep, it is too much for me and has become quite unpleasant.
