Overall this was a good tea. It started out with weak notes of leather and tobacco. These notes were noticeable for about five steeps. Then they transformed into a very sweet note. It was a fruity note, not sure which fruit.

Now for the big question, was this a fake. If it was a fake it was a good fake. The outer ticket did not shine green under the black light. Problem is I don’t know when all Dayi tuochas got this feature. It may be they did not all get this feature until 2011 or so. I know all Dayi bings should have it by 2008.

In any case it was good tea.

I steeped this twelve times in a 120ml gaiwan with 7.9g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec , 7sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec 30 sec, 45 sec, 1 min, 1.5 min, and 2 min.

I have this tuo and can’t remember where I bought it. I don’t recall if there is a sticker but I will check. When I find it.

I think it is a legit one. It all seems right from what I can tell.

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
