SIPDOWN, and a gongfu brewing session!
In the first infusion, the jasmine flavor overwhelmed the tea base, not that I’m complaining. ;) With each successive infusion, the tea base grew a little more present, slightly less sweet, and more balanced with the floral notes.
Wow. This tea is just so beautiful. All in all, I enjoyed seven lovely infusions. I started the first three at 10 seconds each, and then increased the time by 3 seconds per infusion. This is a delightful tea that I highly recommend!

the three second increment increase is excellent! i, however, tend towards being a distracted moth and forget that i’m steeping anything at all. it’s become a benchmark… if a tea still tastes brilliant after 20 minutes of steeping then it’s a keeper, lol.
LOL! I’m always so excited about tea that I’m more likely to flutter around the cup while it’s steeping than to walk off and forget about it, but it still happens sometimes. That’s why I always set a timer now. :)
hah! you are far more organized than i am!
