I’m putting one tuocha into my pot and brewing.

First steep, extremely pale, almost like nothing got extracted. A touch of earthiness, but pretty weak.

Second steep: a little better but still fairly bland. I get a vague, general tea/puerh flavor, but nothing distinct.

Third steep: I let it sit for 40 seconds before pouring. I’d rather overbrew at this point than drink the tea equivalent of Miller Lite (to which is what I’d equate the first two steepings). Finally, starting to get somewhere, getting that earthy puerh flavor, but still not very strong.

Fourth steep: getting more of that copper/brown color in the cup and some astringency, no earthiness.

I’ll finish this tuocha but Not a fan in general
