Red Banner Xiaguan Sheng Puerh Tea (2017 year, 357g)
Really good. Used water a little cooler than recommended. Light dark color, really different flavors each steep, lasts 5-6 steeps, second is darkest, 2 minutes each until the final steep which I let go for 3 minutes full temp. The next time I had it, went full temp 2-3 minutes each. Just as good, only a bit more astringent(?) at the end. Try a sample!
