Gongfu!
Yesterday’s afternoon session! Not an immediate favourite, largely because of the initial wave of bitterness at the top of each infusion. However, there’s something to be said and admired about the longevity of these leaves and how well the ride the line of green bitterness and deep sweet floral body notes. Some of my favourite infusions had heavy notes of sugared lilac, and a hint of red fruit in the undertones. Also, just a great body warmth to this tea overall, with a nice huigan.

Also, I’d be remiss to not acknowledge how cute this teacup and teapot combination is; there’s something deeply charming about drinking from a cup that literally has the teapot you’re brewing from hand painted onto it!!
