I followed boychik’s suggestion and tried 6g of leaf as opposed to 8, and did get through it this time, in 15 or so steeps. It was a lot less thick and fruity at the beginning, and tapered off into soft floral perfume at the end. In this it reminded me of a couple of last year’s Yunnan Sourcing teas, ones that are labelled “gu shu” and sold at about $100/400g.
I think I prefer the higher leaf ratio, and in the future will go back to that but with a more cautious steeping schedule.
6g instead of 8g…..in what size vessel?
I generally use a “standard gaiwan” from W2T, right about 100ml.
gotcha. cool. thanks
