Keemun Hong Cha - Black Tea

I just opened up a small sample size of this tea and it was purchased from a ways back so I'm surprised at the freshness. I threw in about 1.7 grams of tea into a 4 ounce gaiwan without even preheating the gaiwan. Steeped it for about a minute 15. I must say, this was a rather pleasant cup of tea. Has a nice sweet like taste and comforting. Makes a beautiful reddish color. Recommended.
