Another draining day, another nice tea I hope.
Gongfu, 5.5 grams / 125 ml / 75°C water.
I wasn’t paying much attention for every single steep, but I got probably expected flavour profile — buttery and grassy; mild and smooth. With longer steeps a bit more of astringency and seaweeds, but not bitterness. Maybe I have been expecting tropical fruits, but I don’t get those, so probably indeed it was a contaminationthat LuckyMe sample had.
I have offered second steep (roughly 15 seconds) to my mom and here are her words: “It’s fine, but nothing exceptional.” Yes, I agree with her word by word. Nevertheless, I have to say thank you to my friend derk, who kindly sent me this tea which I received in January.
