I prepared this tea gongfu style. I used about 3.5 grams for a 5 oz. gaiwan and steeped for a few seconds each steeping.
The tea grew much progressively over the first few steepings. The dried leaf smells slightly malty. The steeped tea is very sweet and quite vegetal in flavor.
The liquor was very light but fairly strong, though surprisingly I could still taste the flavor of the water through it. I used filtered tap water which wasn’t bad, but I think a more flavorful water would have been better.
