Watched your video. Like the idea. I think using a gaiwan and following the instructions on the verdant site produces a better tasting tea especially for oolongs unless you have a little seasoned yixing pot. Slurp the tea to taste it. With some oolongs, cooling or adding cool water will create bitterness. Small cups instead of mugs would be helpful if heat bothers you. I hope you don’t mind comments…wishing you success!

Tea blogger and pun-dit at the Snooty Tea Blog.

At the moment, I don’t have enough time to keep Steepster cup-dated with reviews, so if you’re looking for the latest leaves in my Snooty cup, hit up snooteablog.com. Most of the teas I review end up on there.

Some people drink tea because they think it has nine thousand-plus health benefits and saves the rainforest while eliminating world hunger and solving the energy crisis.

I just drink it because it’s good.
