First infusion: Ack. Used a bit too much water. Really looking forward to the arrival of my tiny teapot next week. Still, I’m getting sweetness and a wonderfully buttery mouthfeel, even when diluted a bit.

Second infusion: Better concentration this time, and the brew is still sweet, a little more brisk, and oddly less complex. It’s leaving a little celery burn on the tongue.

Unfortunately, I have to go to work and can’t keep infusing. Not sure if I don’t love this one or if I just messed up the brew too much.

Bio

I love cooking, gardening, photography, studying languages, alleys, riding bikes everywhere, snowboarding, travel, dogs, and oddly, housekeeping (as much as one can with another career). Also working on the lifelong dream of starting a business.

If I could only drink four teas ever again, they would be Black Beauty (Mandala), Huang Zhi Xiang Phoenix Mountain Dancong (Verdant), Silver Buds Yabao (Verdant), and Shan Lin Xi Concubine (Eco-Cha, at least the fall 2013). These teas are ridiculous.

Current tea shops under exploration:
Verdant
Mandala
Camellia Sinensis

Wish list:
Mountain Tea
Teavivre
Den’s Tea
Taiwan Tea Crafts
Tea Drunk
Suggestions welcome!
