I am spoiling myself today with awesome teas :D and holy hannah, is this ever AMAZING tonight. I probably shouldn’t be having caffeine this late, but meh, I’ll be up studying anyways. This is like so good today. I did it Western for 3 minutes, and I have this caramel soaked brownie in my cup. This is the most caramelly I have ever gotten Laoshan Black to taste. No idea what I did differently lol, but it is awesome! I actually feel like I’m eating dessert. Rich and excellent. Maybe another steep or two tonight as well. See previous notes!

How much leaf and how much water? Still on the fence about whether I like this tea and am trying it different ways.
It was probably about a teaspoon and a half, maybe a little bit less, I did a heaping one with a bit extra, and as for water, approximately 10 oz. Boiling water as well, hopefully you can find a way that works for you! :)
Rachel – I had some tonight: 1 teaspoon and water around 190F in a half cup of water for 2-3 minutes, and it was so good I raised my score a little bit.
Thanks, guys! Will try some later.
Love the new pic MissLena :-)
Thanks TeaFairy! It’s my verdant yixing pot, i thought it was about time I have it as my pic :)
Looks fabulous! Using it for pu’erh?
new pic?
My profile pic Sil, i just changed it from one of myself to my yixing :)
And I actually use it for dark roasted oolongs TeaFairy, namely mi lan dancong and the shui xian teas from Verdant, i love how it pours :) next one i get will probably be dedicated to some type of puerh though!
weird. still showing your lovely picture for me :)
Yeah, I’m still seeing the photo of you too…
pretty sure it has to do with your computer cache, try to empty it, might work…
Oh weird! It might be a steepster bug then, haha hopefully the new one shows up soon!
it’s likely what the teafairy mentioned – looked and saw it using my other half’s computer. I’m just not up for clearing my cache yet…too many things in there make my life easier atm lol
AHA! I’m seeing your photo on each line you post, but at the top of the page I see the photo of your yixing! It’s adorable!
