This is my #1 favorite tea, hands down. I’ve already had it many times Western style, but I thought I needed to experience it gongfu style too. Let me tell you, that experience deserves its own review too! Here’s how I brewed: 3g at 205F H2O for 15/15/30/40/60 sec
steep 1: This steep is all bread and chocolate with a honey sweet finish. Chocolate croissant, anyone?
steep 2: The chocolate hides for this steep, but caramel comes out to play and brings its friend butter, all over the bready base. Mmmm so buttery and smooth!
steep 3: This was a repeat of steep 2. I’m not mad about that at all.
steep 4: This steep is where it’s at. OMG. Dying. Caramel + dark chocolate + honey. So sweet and so smooth
steep 5: And we finish up with buttery, scrumptious bread. Steep four was my favorite, but this is actually a really nice way to finish the session!
Everyone, do yourself a favor and get your hands on some Ailaoshan Black. You’ll be in total tea love too :)
