First tasting today is Biluo Chun from teaful, I picked this up at the southwest tea fest. And finally got a chance to try it today. I picked this up as part of their taste of taiwan volume 1 pack.
I started by brewing this in my gaiwan for about 30 seconds, I got a very clear very pale yellow liquor, with a very mild aroma. Tasting it, I got just the very smallest hint of astrigency, but a very strong creamy spinach flavor and aroma. Its surprisingly delicate and sweet for a green tea.
Second brew made it a bit stronger, but still very good, the vegetal notes are coming out now but not overpowering the cream or spinach. And the astrigency has almost disappeared.
The third steeping I pumped the temp up to 185 and brewed it for 45 seconds and it kept the sweet spinach and cream flavors and aromas and just slightly picked up a bit more vegetal astrigency.
I highly recommend this tea as it would be incredibly hard to overbrew this to astrigency as even pushing it resulted in a very light refreshing tea.
Flavors: Cream, Grass, Spinach, Vegetal
I was browsing through your Teaful reviews and noticed that you have a lot of glazed teapots that are 100 ml or less. I’ve been looking for such pots and was wondering if you could let me in on some good sources, as they seem to be very thin on the ground. It’s easier to find yixing pots in this range than it is to find ceramic ones!
