Quick Review
I was trying to brew this gongfu style, but i feel that I messed it up. It could be that the water was too hot (170 F) or that it’d be much better off Western styled. I’ll have to play around with this while I still have some. Perhaps I’ll brew it Western style at work and add a second review…
Notes: Bitter & astringent
Rating for the session: 60/100

I’m never really sure how to approach gunpowder teas myself. I’ve tried to gongfu them before, but the results haven’t been great.
eastkyteaguy I’ll definitely try it Western. It should be better that way, I think!
it tastes the same to me western style and gongfucha
I drink this tea western style. You can use 3 steepings of 2 minutes each.
I think I had this one in the 60-61 range myself. In truth, it’s not an exceptional tea, but it is kind of a touchstone for a lot of people when it comes to the more basic, familiar Chinese green teas. Normally, I do a 2 minute infusion followed by a 3 minute infusion.
Thanks for the advice, MrQuackers and eastkyteaguy!
