My new way of trying tea samples is to steep three different ones at once…maybe that’s not the best way of doing it, but it keeps me more focused and distracted from everything else. So that’s just what I do now. XD
Out of the two other teas that were steeping right next to this one, this tea smelled the strongest. It smells incredibly roasty.
The flavor is pretty much the same. Think I’ll enjoy this one more later on when I’m back on my roasty tea kick. xD
Flavors: Roasted

did you make it western?
Yeah. That’s how I mainly brew my tea. It’s easiest haha!
Is there a better way to brew this one without making it be super roasty?
Definitely. only gongfu for these types of oolong. you would see such difference and might fall in love with them. i find the best parameters for me 5-6g for 100 ml rinse and super short steeps, flash, like 2-3-5 sec tops. try it please. you dont even need gaiwan, you can place leaves in a steeper and just lift it up. rinsing is a must to remove dust and extra roast/smoke.
Huh…intersesting. I need to get a gawain. xD I just have been buying tea instead of teaware. I’ll have to remember this will be better gongfu style. Thanks for the tip!!
Gaiwan or glass gongfu teapots like 150ml are so inexpensive. You will be surprised how come you haven’t tried it this way. If you need links to tried and true gongfu stuff let me know :)
Heh, I am definitely gonna get a gaiwan sometime. Maybe sometime after all the holiday sales because there are just so many teas I wanna buy. But when I’m looking into one more I am definitely hitting you up!
