I’m still new to gaiwan brewing and I botched this batch of tea pretty badly by using water just under boiling. I was under the impression that the short brew time meant most teas could be done at higher temps but that certainly is not true for this one! Delicious buttery cracker notes on the nose, horrendous bitterness on the palate. It’s like this tea is playing hard to get; I need a wingman.
