A sipdown! (M: 1, Y: 21) Prompt: A single origin tea as it is truly from one garden and processed there as well.
Gongfu method; 5 grams / 125 ml, 80°C
For some reason, I had an idea to try to gongfu last 5 grams and honestly it wasn’t a bad idea, but steeps had to be super short. 30 seconds was maximum, as it was turning bitter and very roasty afterwards. Tried once.
I am going to miss this tea; as it is so comforting in cold days like today has been. It was around zero centigrade, but with strong cold wind gusts.
The tea, though, is roasty, with caramel notes, very round and pleasant. There was so little of green tea taste, but today I got some mineral taste from it as well, but sweet notes prevail by a lot.
Lovely, and I need to get some next time I am in Dresden again.
