Happy new year!

Maybe I used too much tea. I’m in my nook, so I wasn’t measuring. Also, I may need to let the water cool a bit more. This was pretty darn bitter, even with just 10 second steeps. I’ll try again soon. Switching to shou for now!

Yea. I’m noticing the more Sheng I experience, weight is key. No matter the flash brew time. Give it another try. (I’ve nvr had this tea btw). I wouldn’t change the temp. Puerh should be just off the boil as far as I have learned. Just drop the weight.
As I’m sure u know, the tighter the press on the cake, the more it will open up. ;)

I normally use 200 degrees for all pu’erhs, but the kettle in my nook only boils, so I can’t set a temp. I’ll definitely try less tea next time :)
