Today i made it western style according to Verdant website.
4g 205F 8oz 45 sec
this tea is so full of flavor. its sweet and malty, smells strongly of honey with the spice notes.
my second steep was 1min. i’d say flavors became more intense,less sweet, some citrus and sweet potato.
I guess i have to pick up more, i have less that 1/2 oz left.

I was drawn to the pre-order this weekend. I debated adding this one in. After reading your tasting note I am glad I did.
I think I’ll stick to gongfu method which is my favorite.
I used scale , the leaves are long twisted and it would be hard to measure by spoon.
Think it would be any good with a rookie doing a western steeping?
yes. its good any way. but i prefer gongfu.
Btw i just noticed Nahorhabi full leaf assam back on H&S. i dont know if you tried it, but its amazing. im gonna get 4oz
Yeah, donkeytiara I’ve only ever western steeped a sample of this and it was quite good :)
