The aroma is very fruity, strong notes of juicy plums with a side of roasted peanuts and a faint malt at the finish. I really want to make sure everyone knows this tea is very fruity, almost surprisingly so! It does not smell at all like a flavored tea, but like someone placed a plate of sliced plums right next to the leaves.
I was able to get six steeps using my gaiwan. It starts off mellow, sweet, and fruity slowly gaining strength until it has a beautiful peak at the fourth and fifth steep. The taste is sweet blending stewed plums, also a rich honey taste. This fades to malt and sweet potatoes and finishes with a peppery aftertaste. I really feel like the tea really shined this steeping.
