I convinced the “Chairman” to pick this one for us tonight after she played with the catnip mouse that I enticed her with.
i did the 8 gram sample with a 5 second ’wash" and brewed it in the Gaiwan after giving it a 30 min rest.
The brew with the first infusion was a nice burgundy after a 5 second steep. It gives a nice brew. No of scents and nice to see in the cup. I gives a nice woody , sweet and a touch drying brew. It is very nice and a very smooth brew to be as young as this one is. Very nice and I am grateful for the one who allowed me to try it. Nice and Nice.

Flavors: Drying, Sweet, Wood

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 0 min, 15 sec 8 g 10 OZ / 295 ML

what do you mean by rest? letting the washed leaves sit before brewing? and what does it do?

I liked this brick. I will have to break it out soon for a review. Tonight, unfortunately, I am avoiding caffeine. Tomorrow and the next day I am not. The early days are taking a toll on my tea drinking.

Yeah Kirk, I hit them with the water and rinse and it helps the leaf and flavor open up for a better brew.
Allan sorry as i know all about those early days. i used to get up at 1:30 am to get ready for work. takes a BIG toll on your tea drinking.
I think I will eventually have to buy one of these myself or split one. 2Kg a lot of tea maybe a 4 way split!

My black cat learned fetch with rabbit hair mice toys. But we had to sit in the same chair everyday and toss the mouse, and we had to sit in that one chair for him to get it as a routine.

yssah

so did you get to split it? this is unfortunately out of stock already
