Prepared this Keemun gong-fu style and am really loving it.

My cup today is the first from my new Yixing pot, which I seasoned overnight. I still think that clay is the best material for brewing Chinese and Taiwanese teas.

Rich, slightly spicy. Most comforting on a cold day.

When brewed properly, this tea has rich earthy notes along with a hint of burnt caramel. Very nice.

This is a truly excellent tea. So many roasted Ti Kuan Yins taste primarily of “roast” while this tea allows some of the floral sweetness to peak through. Stunning.

Yunwu Green (Cloud Mist) from Peter Asher Coffee and Tea

This is a very good green tea. The initial notes are somewhat vegetal, but they expand into a fruity sweetness. Very nice.
