Jenn-cha

Jenn-cha drank Golden Bi Luo by Chicago Tea Garden

1st infusion: 2 minutes, boiling water
Despite the reviews here I was still rather surprised at the lightness/delicateness of this for a black tea. The deep red liquor was lightly malty, woodsy, and a tad fruity.

2nd infusion: 2 1/2 minutes, boiling water
The color is only slightly lighter but the flavor is much lighter and the fruity note has vanished.

A nice tea but not something I can’t live without.

I have loved tea for quite some time but have only gotten into loose leaf teas in the last two years or so. About the only flavor I will not drink is anise/licorice.

I almost always put sugar in my tea. I rarely use honey. Many black teas (and all chai) usually gets a little milk added as well.

Blue Tetsubin – 12oz * This is my usual pot. I can fill my blue & white china cup (4oz) three times.

Green Tetsubin – 10oz * I usually use this with my pink Koran china cup & saucer set. I can fill one of those cups three times.

Yixing Pot – 6oz * Dedicated to dark oolongs. I usually decant the tea into a (6oz) paisley cup.
