9/19/14 sunday yixing. 8g tea/8oz water per steep/short steeps
Earthy dry mineral goodness. Surprisingly light, possibly because my teapot is very young. A taste like pine forest after rain.

Preparation
Boiling 0 min, 15 sec 8 g

decrease water volume. i do 6-8g for 100 ml for shou. especially its aged, so not that strong. Just my 2c ;)

I’ll try that. I think I want to get a smaller pot for puer – the 8oz is nice for a get together, but too much for me alone.

boychik

if you are going to get one, i recommend not to exceed 130ml. 100ml i find is ideal for 1 person. Btw, good to see you ;)

Thanks! It’s nice to be back online. A smaller pour has really brought out the richness in this tea, and some nice berry notes.
