I’m pretty happy around 200, but I’m going to try a little lower next time, for the heck of it.

Oh, I am late to the party here. Hope I can join in! I will finish up my gyokuro and then fire up the cowboy.

Cwyn, you are welcome to join of course, but we finished a couple of hours ago. We’ll do this again though,.. Would you like me to let you know next time? We’d have to follow each other though…

Cwyn said

Sure, am following you. I saw the discussion on a review. Maybe I should save my sample then? I don’t have a cake of this.

i followed back :-)

Well it’s really up to you, you can still have it and post your impressions here, I’m curious to know what you think of it. MzPriss didn’t have such a good experience tonight, so I’m sure we will try again some other times, just don’t know when….

My bad for falling asleep…and my tea table was set up for sencha, had to switch over my tea ware for gongfu. I put my sample away just in case and am having the Jade Dew raw instead.

Awww…lovely, love me some green magic in the evening…

And I’ll let you know next time we have a group tasting :-)

Cwyn said

Thanks, TeaFairy! As it turned out, the Jade Dew is inspired and I bought some ;)

I love the idea of a tea table set-up. I am terrible for not disposing of spent leaves after my final brew and that sometimes inhibits me from having tea because I continue to be lazy and don’t want to clean everything out. If I always had a clean and empty pot or gaiwan ready to go, it would be easier. Although sometimes I just get a new pot from the cupboard.

I had the kyusu out because of the fine particles of the gyokuro, and likewise my manual strainer had some in it, had to wash that out too. Also I have to warm the Yixing and do a couple rinses so had to clear off stuff I didn’t want to get splashed with sheng.
