This is my first time in quite a while using a gaiwan so we’ll see how this goes!
First steep, 15 seconds: Everyone else seems to get sweet caramel flavors, but I’m getting light vegetal flavors with a bit of a sour note at the end. The steeped leaves smell like rice to me
Second steep, 20 seconds: This one was about the same as the 15 second steep, I didn’t notice a huge difference.
Third steep, 30 seconds: This one is less vegetal and more creamy
Fourth steep, 45 seconds: I didn’t get much flavor out of this one so I’m going to really up the time on the next one, and it will probably be my last of this for today. The steeped leaves smell almost like paper towels, weird.
Fifth steep, 90 seconds: Still not much going on here. Oh well
