I had a 14g sample and used half in a 170 ml gaiwan, which in hindsight was too large, especially for my usual flash steeps.
The result of not following the instructions was that I couldn’t get a sense of the tea which was tasting like hongcha.
After three steeps I put the rest of the 14g into the pot, ah that was the ticket.
Clean soup, smooth, nutty, bittersweet chocolate and brown sugar.
Made for an enjoyable long session on a chilly morning.
