I had this one over the weekend and saved the leaves for a second steep, which was my first cup of tea this morning. Work is off to a rough start this morning, but here’s to tea making it better!
I actually preferred the second steep to the first, though the first flew by without much memory. This morning this had a very faint cardboard quality that I often get in oolongs, but not in a negative way. This was paired with a hint of sweetness, especially as it cooled.
First steep 3 minutes
Second steep 4 minutes
I also may have edited my Bird & Blend order to add more teas before it ships…:P

MOAR TEA!
Hahah right? Oh my goshhhh. I already have no space and I just tidied the tea cupboards over the weekend!
Tidied… meaning you made room for more tea! ;)
I’ve never Western steeped a Gui Fei, though if it’s the same one Derk and I reviewed, it’s not much of a loss. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks! How do you steep them normally? I only do Western steeping, but perhaps one day I’ll branch out. :)
