I found the best results using 3g in a 60mL gaiwan with 200 degree water. With too much leaf/too hot of water, the initial steeps were an almost unpleasant bitter sourness. This tea did still yield some bitterness even when brewed like this, though the finish was a sweet vegetal or grassy flavor which did possess a slight sour note. Later steeps were more vegetal sweetness than anything else.

This one is definitely up for aging. It is on the rougher side even if you use water at lower temps. But it is a great example for contrast with the other ‘Basics’ set. Make dated notes and try it every 3-6 months (I would advice for 6months).
Absolutely. Shouldn’t be a problem as it’s not one I want to immediately drink all of :P
