TeaSourceI am not sure if I should recommend this tea or not and I am pretty sure I didn’t brew it quite right.I steeped it in a 220 ml gaiwan with 8.5 g of leaves. The dry leaves had the smell of tobacco, for lack of a better description. I used boiling water. I first rinsed it twice. The rinses were quite light in color so I steeped it for thirty seconds. This seemed oversteeping so I steeped it again for 15 sec. This steeping came out better. It had sweet notes, sour pungent notes, sour berry notes and an overriding flavor I did not identify. It was my first experiment with Fuzhuan teas and was an interesting flavor. I sourced it from Streetshop88, an EBay tea shop that has sold me some excellent Puerh and Oolong. I think it is worth exploring more in a couple of days or weeks.
Flavors: Berry, Sour, Sweet
I am unsure what a Fuzhuan should taste like? Do you think I brewed this right?
I prefer shortest steeps possible especially with unknown tea.
I am by no means an expert but tea source suggests brewing dark teas other than puerh at 195- 205 so perhaps the temperature was too high.
I’m not familiar with this tea the two source I ’be looked at have suggested different things
Tea source suggested 195-205 ° tea for dark teas other than puerh.
This source suggests using a lot less leaf 4g/200ml

Thanks, I shall try first lower temperature, then if that doesn’t work lower temperature and fewer leaves. It was a tea I wanted to try and appeared to be good quality.It may just be I don’t like the flavor.
That’s possible, have fun experimenting!
Sorry for the convoluted message at top. I started to write it and then it seemed lost. I’ve never seen it merge too messages together before.
