This tea was quite good. It had a sweet note from the start. The note reminded me of the white nectarines I got from the store last week, but without the intense sweetness to it. This is one good tea. This one was not cheap, I forget what I paid. I think this was the most expensive tea I bought from Taiwan Sourcing this time around. I would definitely buy it again next harvest. I bought 75g so I am not likely to run out before they produce another harvest of the stuff.

I steeped this tea ten times in a 150ml gaiwan with 7g leaf and 190 degree water. I gave it a 10 second rinse. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, and 1 min. The tea was not finished but I have had a lot of tea this morning so I stopped.

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 7 g 5 OZ / 150 ML

I recently received many order of this tea and have not tried it yet. Glad to hear it’s a good one. Did it strike you as high in caffeine?

Can’t say I noticed the caffeine either way. I stop caffeine early in the day due to insomnia. I had this one fairly early in the day.

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.
