This is a very smooth, classic pouchong of considerably above-average quality. Aroma is fairly strong, mostly floral and honey-like. Remarkable for a pouchong of this price, there is a complete absence of unpleasant fishy tones, and there's very little astringency.
I found that a teaspoon of leaves could brew two flavorful infusions, but I often prefer making a single, very long infusion of this style of tea. This tea works well for making one, very long infusion, as it does not acquire many unpleasant characteristics.
