I decided to brew this “eastern style” – meaning I used a crap ton more leaves and lower steeping times. I used teavana’s perfect tea maker because I don’t have a yixing.
The downside to this is that I used almost all the tea I have of this and immediately felt bad because this was one of the nicer teas I ordered from Zhi.
The upside is that I actually get to REALLY taste the tea! And oh my god it was amazing. I definitely got the pine taste earlier in the steepings and then it came back later.
I’m glad I did this but I still regret using almost all of my leaves =(
I had a friend who tried a sip of it, and she told me a few days after that she wanted to have it again XD
