mj sent me a surprise sample of this tea. She is awesome.
Sample is super generous .
I decided to do gongfu. It works all the time.
But today i wasn’t lucky
4g 100ml 205F
rinse/5/5/5/10sec, its hay, mellow, some sweet paprika. some bitterness, nothing major. no sweetness (hui gan) . bummer
i thought that maybe i should try WP parameters
1tbsp 8oz 190F 3min ( i did rinse it, i always do)
Nope. Very bitter for my taste.
Came back to my gaiwan. read some previous notes. TTF made it with low temp like 175F and short steeps. Tried that and i think its my favorite parameters. as it cools completely i notice some slight sweetness.
Thank you so much, mj. you gave me big sample to play.

You’re welcome! I had to put some tea in there, right? It felt wrong not to! It looked like you like sheng and this was my only sheng, so I was happy to share :)
Oh super!!! I am really wanting to try this one!
Now I am curious! I’ve got this one on the way.
Sarsonator, I’d be happy to send you some :)
Thanks so much, mj! I just arranged a trade with ost for some Arbor Mist LOL
You are so sweet mj!
Yes, I have noticed that some are getting astringency. I really don’t get any out of this one. I even drank it laoshan style yesterday and it was as smooth as silk. I hope your next time will be better, thanks to lovely mj’s giant sample, you get to experiment :-)
