I was hesitant about this at first, but when made with the CORRECT water temperature it’s great. I think 175°F is way too high for this tea. I steep this tea at 130°F for 2 minutes. Its effect every time. Not bitter but you can taste the sweetness of this. Its lovey by its own or iced. Try adding honey or lemon to it. It’s great! I tend to reuse the leaves 2/3 more times!

My favorite teas are flavored fruity green, black, oolong, & herbal. I used to sweeten my tea with rock sugar from Teavana, but now I usually drink my teas straight. I do like cold brewing tea all year round.
I brew western style with my Breville, but I want to explore gongfu because I want to gather the full flavor of the tea I’m drinking. Thus an excuse to use my Japanese tea cups. Though I do want a kyushu too!
