Its late in the day and i just need a drink, something stronger than this tie gun yin. Second steep on 6min. First steep I had earlier and sadly all i remember is that it was pretty clean tasting and a typical green oolong. This time i get more creaminess and depth, not alot though.. not like if i tossed the basket and brewed some ripe puerh. But i dont play favorites so here we are. I write this review in the dark and with head phones on in the middle of my dining room, curled over the keyboard, pecking at it intently, like a prospector panning for gold. Really I am just trying to reach a conclusion for this tea. I think I should’ve brewed it longer but i dont know.
This has been the first review of this year,and the year seems almost over.. to bad. I guess I have some time to make up for. I brewed this western style, and i expect the rest of my reviews to be this way, at least for a while. I dont know much about tea, and definitely not oolongs , but i think this is just an average tie guan yin. This is a go-to when i cannot make up my mind. its been a hot day and Im tired, i need something stronger.
