I would like to start off by thanking Bret for this lovely tea.There isn't much smell to the dry tea leaves. But while it is steeping you can smell a smell that reminds me of forest soil.
I decided to test two different brewing vessels with this tea.The Yixing was a bit lighter surprisingly but they both generally had the same flavors.
The first infusion was very woody and had a pleasant bitterness as an aftertaste. As I made more and more infusions I started to taste a hint of sweetness. By the third infusion it was a great mix of wood and sweetness. The sweetness is hard to place it isn't fruit but it isn't sugar either. Needless to say this was a very interesting tea. I honestly loved it!
On another note, sorry I haven't been posting but I have been busy with the start of school, switching over to a new computer and work. But I am back now with many new samples to test.
