Volume:: 250 ml
Rinse:: 5 s
Steep time:: 20, 20, 30 s

First steep

• Aroma is very deep and earthy but i'm not picking up any of the citrus from the tangerine
• rich brown brew
• Tastes a lot like it smells: earthy and complex, but it also has a bright sweet note that might be the citrus trying to come through
• Has that classic pu'erh funkiness
• rich flavour without any of the tanniny mouth dryness even in the aftertaste

Second steep

• even darker tea than the first steep
• almost a smokiness to the aroma
• similar flavour but with added smokiness
• brighter sweeter note was missing

Third steep

• aroma still good still complex and smokey
