I brewed up 1 mini toucha in a 100ml gaiwan at 210f. I gave two rinses about 10 sec each to really open it up. There is absolutely no pile funk on these little guys. The first steep at about 15 seconds gave a nice mouthfeel and honey sweetness. This is a great little everyday ripe. I like the 2011 Mengku Ripe Mini Touchas a lot and these hold there own as well. A nice thick mouthfeel with a honey sweet smell and taste make these little guys well worth a buy (get a couple of handfuls). They are affordable little gems. Scott has yet to disappoint with the YS pressings that I have tired and this tea is no different. Some dislike mini touchas but up to this point I have not had the same experience. I would maybe recommend brewing in a 70ml gaiwan or something in that range for a stronger brew as these are about 5g touchas. Toss one in the gaiwan or cup and enjoy. Quick, easy and tasty…..and cheap!

This tea is sweet, thick and earthy. It is fairly tasty. There is a very slight bitterness that would have presumably gone away had I been steeping this Gongfu style. I’m afraid this got steeped western style this afternoon as I am heading off to work. As with every mini tuo cha, Yunnan Sourcing says this is made with higher quality tea leaves than normal mini tuochas. While I don’t specifically doubt the claim, I take it with a grain of salt. It is good though.

I brewed this twice in an 18oz teapot with 8.1g leaf and boiling water. I steeped it for 30 sec and 30 sec. The second one I put in a thermos to bring to work.
