i got my new chawan and tin of new Classic Chinese recently. MzPriss inspired me to use the new chawan.
Its not only beautiful to look at but such a pleasure to hold in hand and sip tea. The thickness is just right.
I tried the new version before but its been a while. i had to refresh my memory.
the tea is delicious. Its not strong kick ass as original. in fact it tastes like a different tea. it is the same but different grade. Leaves are very thin like silk thread and delicate. i thought that 195F would be appropriate. usually i steep Chinese blacks at 205F.
its very smooth, not earthy, kinda nutty with slight tint of longan in the background. i think its perfect as afternoon tea.
brewed western 3g 5oz 2min
im sure that Taiwanese black teas lovers would like this tea. it has some taiwanese flair of fruits and nuttiness.

You inspired me to GET the chawan – and I agree I love it, feels so nice and it’s so pretty. Typical Joseph Wesley level of class.

Thank you MzPriss. Im glad you are happy with it. I agree that everything I’ve tried fr JW is classy. Great customer service. They started selling tickets for the NYC Coffee and Tea Fest . Do you want to come ? ;-)
