Gah. I should not have been drinking one of my favorite types of tea yesterday- baozhong – when I knew my allergies would be at full boil. Thank you all the same, derk. And I have more to try at a later time. Since my allergies were annoying I couldn’t taste much. I noticed a delicate creaminess and sweetness to these deep emerald and huge twisty leaves. From what I could tell, very consistent steeps but the third steep did not seem overjoyed by the boiling temp? It seemed more like a mineral type of overdone flavor. A harshness when cooled, though not astringent. Maybe this one really shouldn’t be steeped Western? I was trying to be delicate with my steeps. Not much to say, but I needed to make a note that I tried it…
Steep #1 // 2 teaspoons for full mug // 29 minutes after boiling // rinse // 1 1/2 minute steep
Steep #2 // 20 minutes after boiling // 2 min
Steep #3 // just boiled // 2 min
Harvest: 2017

I hope and wish you that allergies will fade away soon adn you will be able to enjoy all the teas fully again!
Thank you very much, Martin. :D
It’s been on a swift decline lately. Drinkable but a shadow of its former self. I have a bit left which will end up getting cold-brewed.
