I brewed this in my gravity steeper (which is so great for work sessions). I started with a 30 second rinse, then added 200ml of boiling water slowly directly onto the ball. It opened up beautifully after a longer initial steep of about 45 seconds. The lovely heady sweetness is what struck me first when I smelled the wet leaves and tasted the smooth liquor. Like ripe peaches and dried figs and cherries. Delicious. The taste became more bitter and astringent in later steepings, but still enjoyable.

In early 2017 I re-kindled my love of tea after a long coffee-filled hiatus when I read this article: http://www.seriouseats.com/2015/02/best-tea-where-to-buy.html and enthusiastically dove into the world of puerh and Taiwanese oolongs.

I now drink tea daily, usually brewing in my trusty 250ml gravity steeper which I find offers a nice in-between of gongfu and western style brewing. I still love my gaiwan, and will always turn to that when trying a new tea.

I am loving this journey, and excited to continue exploring this awesome tea universe.
