| 1st Steep | 30s - Bright chestnut colored liquor. Astringent, wood, grain, and loam are all present with thick mouthfeel and a tingling on the tip of the tongue. | |
| 2nd Steep | 20s - Less bitterness, a bit of wood, loam, and now mushroom. Very dry in the mouth. | |
| 3rd Steep | 30s - Allowed the cup to cool a bit and it greatly improved the taste of the tea. It is now smoother and has some earthy sweetness emerging. | |
| 4th Steep | 40s - allowed the cup to cool. Bitterness is fading, sweetness is slightly increased. Grassy flavor is getting pleasing. | |
| Subsequent Steeps | 120s - allowed the cup to cool. Bitterness is gone, sweetness is slightly increased. Flavor is still strong. | |
| Conclusion | I like this tea a lot. It is still a Teenager in terms of aging so it fights back a little, but it also has a lot of potential to be great in another 15 years. | |
