An Xi Tie Guan Yin traditional charcoal roast from Life In Teacup

T.C. drank An Xi Tie Guan Yin traditional charcoal roast by Life In Teacup

After a warmup infusion (95C, immediately drain water after filling small (~100ml) pot), first infusion used 92C water for 15 sec. It has a nice golden color, and a delicious roasted flavor that almost reminds me of a houjicha. It’s fairly appetizing. Brewed the second infusion the same way. All the flavor from the first infusion is still there, nearly identical to the previous cup. Third infusion, still the same, but maybe with a slightly less roasted aftertaste. I enjoyed this!

Only 15 seconds? Must be some seriously strong stuff!
