Learned from my mistakes brewing the OWT DHP yesterday. Again, used the TWL 70 ml thin gaiwan since it cools almost immediately and this one isn’t roasted enough to do well with a ton of heat.
5.7g, boiling. quick steeps, mostly 5-10s. Got 5 decent steeps before it faded and i moved it to a mug. Some floral notes, cocoa powder, not as vegetal with the decreased heat. Probably the best session with this tea for me so far, but I guess that’s not saying much.
Just a chronicle of a stranger’s tea journey. Keeping old notes up to see progression, but no longer really believe in all of them. Trying to learn!! Weekend warrior mostly now; work is tough.
As of 4/21/21, I will no longer assign numerical ratings to a tea unless it is terrible enough to warrant one. There are a fair amount of solid teas out there, and reading mildly subjective reviews from others > very subjective numerical rating that gets skewed by Steepster’s calculating system anyway.
