Sorry I’ve been absent lately my dear Steepster friends…
I really needed some hugs and comfort today.
This tea never fails me.
It is my go to tea of choice, always good no matter how I brew it. It’s like we belong together.
The taste makes me see nice soft colours…
Sweet, soothing, and so warming.
I really needed this.
Hope all of you are doing great!

Kirk, this is the one from Yunnan Sourcing I’ve had that’s very similar to Ailaoshan:
{{{{{{{{TTF}}}}}}}} Hugs. I also find that tea can be a great comfort on those kind of days. I hope the rest of your day goes better and tomorrow is a better day as well.
Apt I haven’t tried it…curious about it but I doubt it could be better :-)
Right you are my dead Amanda ;-)
Kirk, glad you are doing ok
looseTman, Boychick thank you for the hugs!!!
Thank you Cheri, wow!! What a gorgeous TTF hugs :-)
Love y’all :-)
I just got a one ounce sample of this tea in the mail. I may have to brew it tomorrow morning. Did you brew this western style or gongfu?
Allan, I western brew it cause it’s so good I’m too impatient to gongfu it, lol. But I hear it’s also very good that way.
My way is 1 big tbs for 16oz mug at 205F for 4 min. Sometimes I do a second steep for 6 min.
But you should check the new WP website, they now have very detailed parameters for both methods on all teas! I think you should try this way first :-) here’s the link for Ailaoshan
