Thank You Boychik for this sample. This tea has a strong note from the charcoal roast. Not sure how best to describe the note that developed once this charcoal note was history, but it was fairly nice. I am still not a huge fan of Rock Oolong teas but they are beginning to grow on me. I did like this one in the end. Gave it eight steeps.

I brewed 7.3g in a 120ml gaiwan with 200 degree water. I gave it a 10 second rinse and a 10 minute rest. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, and 30 sec. I do believe it would go a couple of more steeps if I wanted to continue but I am at my caffeine limit for today.

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.
