Review
I wanted to review this tea by using my gaiwan, but unfortunately, I broke the lid today.
So, now I am using a hei cha as my brewing vessel.
Amount of Tea: 5 Grams
Brewing Vessel: Ceramic Hei Cha
Type of Water: Bottled Water (Reverse Osmosis)
Steep Time: 10 Seconds – 20 Seconds – 20 Seconds
Strong minerality, a slight hint of astringency, with minimal bitterness.
A lingering taste on the palette.
Flavor mellows out by the third steep.
Flavor notes: Toasted rice, cocoa, with light floral bouquet.
