Kicking off the new year with my first cup of Tie Guan Yin. Used hotter water and shorter steep time than advised because I am impatient. Golden yellow liquid on the first steep.
Golly wow am I glad I bought a 50g bag.
Second steep // ~3 min, ~180 F – I’m getting less floral and more woody now, and a sweeter aftertaste.
