The wet tea in the gaiwan smells familiar, hay, reminds me a bit of tian jian or fu brick.
first brew was pretty light, coin didn't open up, hay sweetness.
Second brew the coin just completely opened up as soon as the water hit it sho i poured it as fast as i could. Definitely tastes like hei cha. Fu brick or tian jian, its got some drying astringency, finish is sweet, im not getting any smoke. The astringency stands out since i dont usually notice much in heicha,
Third, kept it short, more of the same, im getting some vanilla notes, wood, astringency is still there, this tea is rather fussy as far as brewing hei cha goes, it infuses very quickly.
Overall i find it closest to fu brick by far.
I won't be rushing out to buy this but it was fun to try. Im guessing this was pretty astringent when it was manufactured.
