Please describe how you are preparing the tea (brew times, water temperature, type of teapot, etc): Brewing with water temperature around 90 degrees (C) in a yixing pot. 

What did you taste on the First Brew?: 15 seconds. Buttery. Fresh and light with floral aroma. 

What did you taste on the Second Brew?: 20 seconds. Less buttery-ness. Floral with stone fruit aroma and a light sweetness.

What did you taste on the Third Brew?: 30 seconds. Floral with more stone fruit aroma and sweetness. 

Additional Comments: This seems to me to be a bit more finicky Tieguanyin than others with more subtle flavours overall.
