    I don't really know exactly what this coffee is as I can't read Chinese.

    I've seen this steeped format in the US with a few different brands, notably Kuju. I had to try again because my first mug was too high walled and I had to use too much water to get a proper steep.

    The second time was the charm, although the extraction was still pretty light despite a long steep.

    The coffee has a lovely peachy/apricot aroma when you open the package, notably sweet and fruity. There's no identifying information origin wise, but the translation below says "Gesha Village Blend". Gesha Village is a somewhat large estate in Ethiopia, and the peachy/fruity/tea notes here line up with that.

    The coffee itself has quite a bit of natural sweetness and excellent body for a steeped. There's strawberry, apricot, and iced tea notes. It's a simple, very clean, low complexity, sweet finish with a touch of honey. This is one of the better instant formats I've seen for a light roast once you work through how to use the steeper.

    ---------------------

    I translated the directions on the back.

    Tear Off
    Tear off the top of the drip coffee bag along the dotted line.

    Open
    Pull the handles of the bag to open it wide.

    Pour
    Slowly pour hot water (around 92°C / 198°F) over the coffee grounds. Use about 180-200 ml of water.

    Brew
    Let the coffee steep and drip into your cup.

    The small print at the bottom indicates:

    This product is best consumed fresh after opening.
    Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
    The label on the top right appears to be a product label with specific information about the coffee blend, possibly "Gesha Village Coffee".

    Cupping Method:My mom's friend brought these back from Taiwan. I tried to follow the instructions the best I could but I did use hotter water.
