I must admit that I botched this yesterday by not using enough leaf, which resulted in an almost flavorless brew. So this time I used 2 tsp for 8oz and steeped for an outrageously long time to account for its mildness. The liquor was still a very pale yellow so I was worried it would be weak once again. But no, this time it packed a lot of flavor! It tasted rich and every sip a bit different; some more vegetal, others indulgently buttery, others slightly nutty. And no bitterness, even after my errantly long steep. A few minutes later I realized I had gulped it all down in record time, which caused me to sadly gaze at my empty cup hoping it would magically refill. So definitely a winner.

Recommend Brewing Guide:
Teapot 8oz 1-2 tsp (7g) 3 steeps:1m,2m,3m 80ºC / 176ºF
Although everyone enjoys tea differently, Teavivre has amazing guidelines that people tend to say work very well.
I originally did 1.5 tsp for at least 3 min but still found it too mild. But this time it was perfect so maybe I should just go with the higher suggested amount right off the bat.
My hubby and I love this one, especially with Asian buffet take out! I have to make two 22ounce steeps and we finish it all off!
That sounds yummy! It seems like it would pair well with food.
I also underleafed this one. I think that I need to use about twice as much to get some real flavor into the brew…
