3 grams/4 oz. Rinsed gaiwan and cup with just boiled water to preheat. First infusion steeped for 2 seconds. The liquor is a beautiful red copper. Lots of floral notes mixed with cocoa nibs and hints of spice in the aroma. Very rich mouthfeel. No astringency at all. Some clove and spice at first, quite earthy overall. A bit of cocoa on the the finish. Very enjoyable.

Update: Later infusions change considerably. The mouthfeel thins slightly , and the finish becomes more drying. The spice notes become the primary flavor, with hints of smoke.
