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.

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.
