While I only brewed this western style, it is 9 am after all. This tea is quite tasty for the price. After all I only paid $8.99 for 100g including shipping. You really can’t beat a good tea for that price. Its not an incredible tea but it is enjoyable. It is fairly vegetal in nature, I don’t think it is roasted. There is no charcoal or roasted barley taste.
The leaves of this tea are rolled, ball style like a Tie Guan Yin tea. They have a nice aroma to them, floral. The tea has a floral, vegetal taste to it.
I brewed this once in an 18oz teapot with 2.5 tsp leaf and 190 degree water for 3 min. I might go back for a second steeping later having left the leaves in the pot.
Flavors: Floral, Vegetal
