Test #3a
Right now I'm steeping two touchas of NBT's pu-erh that were washed for 30 seconds before putting them into the mug. I don't have high hopes...

EDIT: Astra, I tried the shorter wash time, and I tried doubling the amount of tea...
Result: still no aroma and no flavor for this tea.

There is one more toucha sample in the box... #5, I believe. Let's see if that's any different. The un-named toucha that i bought from the Chinese import shop was 5x better than the NBT #3. Although I didn't really love the qualities of that tea, at least it had some to evaluate! #3 had neither aroma nor flavor. All it had was color.
