the_skua drank Bi Lou Chun by Herb & Tea

I used this tea in the inaugural brew for my first white porcelain gaiwan and it was incredible. I’d never coaxed that much character out of a teach. Rich, earthy, filled with dew and fresh juice, a bit of straw, very light bamboo and charcoal, with a nice planty edge. And so brisk and rich.

Bio

Exploring the world of fine Chinese and Japanese teas, my favorites include: sheng pu’er, moderately roasted oolongs, gyokuro, shincha, and high quality, artisanal whites and greens. I don’t subscribe to any particular style of brewing, but incorporate elements from traditional techniques to brew the best tea possible. I also seek to share the joy that tea brings me with others, but am really rather introverted.
