I’m new at this. Previously a casual drinker of bagged tea and David’s Tea and the like, I decided to delve a little deeper. So I ordered some of the most popular teas from Yunnan Sourcing and am now attempting gong fu cha. My first attempt went well! First off, the aroma is divine. Chocolate and malt with hints of honey, and a vaguely toasty smell, almost like cereal. I’d describe the smell overall as sweet and woodsy. A comment on YS listed the following brewing instructions for 4 infusions, so that’s what I tried. 1) 20s, 90°C 2) 20s, 90°C 3) 35s, 90°C 4) 45s, 95°C. The first tasted very clean and pure, the second and third richer and slightly more astringent, with the fourth starting to lose flavor. The woodsy and wet earth flavors became stronger with each infusion. Quite enjoyable!
