I switched to a single button tea set that most comfortably brews 150ml at a time. When not drinking an extremely delicate tea, this half gong fu style works fine. In fact, it appears to work even better than usual for this tea. I discarded one rinse of 150 after waiting twice as long as I had in the past. The expected bamboo chopstick smell is gone much sooner with this method. The tea is almost unrecognizable. Smoother. Cleaner.
I also acquired a jar of buckwheat honey and tried some in the tea. The deep, bitter, molasses-like flavor of bkwht honey complements this shou.
