After teaching talking nonstop for 7hrs straight I have a sore throat and almost no voice. I hope I’m not getting sick. But I decided to have a nice cup of tea to sooth my throat after work anyway, and maybe give me enough energy not to pass out immediately.
I brewed this one gongfu style in a gaiwan but combined all the steeps into one cup. Too tired to futz with tasting individual steeps, but I wanted to varying my brewing and see how it changed the tea. I like it better this way; it is butterier, with almost lightly fruity notes, and as long as I drank it very warm or stone cold, it was much smoother and less harshly vegetal. For some reason the lukewarm was not pleasant, but once it got actually cold it was tasty again. Definitely a pleasant dragonwell.
Thanks again to Teavivre for the sample of this tea!
