TIL ITD – Today is International Tea Day

so I started with an English Breakfast for exoticism's sake.
The camera refused to focus for a while

@tea Organised a tea tasting at work where we sampled:

  • 2013 Shou Mei White Tea Cake
  • Blooming jasmine flower tea
  • Osmanthus scented Tie Guan Yin
  • Long Jing

The aged white definitely made an impression on people new to unbagged tea

Really enjoying this 'Wildwood Gold' black @tea

Gushu Dianhong from Mei Leaf

It's sold out unfortunately, might try to get some elsewhere but that's usually a terrible idea: “A teapet cannot steep into the same tea twice, because it is not the same tea, and he is not same teapet.“

@tea I'm too addicted, I think I might try pathofcha's version – any thoughts? or other tea to get in the same shipment?

@tea Happy to report that teapet is, in fact, quite happily basking in a golden Jin Ya Dian Hong from path of cha

Starting to get why people rave about the fragrance of Dan Congs – the smell of dry leaves in this teapot definitely got my nostrils' attention

New to dancong but this Duck sh*t one is growing on me

@baptnz @tea Some thoughts on duck shit oolong:

It's in very high demand, and it's entirely possible that what you have is just a mediocre tea. When done well, it's very fragrant.

Dancongs can be tricky to get right. IMO the first few infusions are usually best done around 93-95, with temperature coming up after 4-5 rounds. But each tea is different, and getting the best aroma out of them takes some care and adapting to the tea.

Sometimes more leaf helps get the aromas, sometimes less leaf.

@tfb Speaking of being gentle to dancongs, I have a baiye-cultivar dancong that was guest-manufactured by an Anxi Tieguanyin maker.

I had made it twice in the last couple of weeks and wondered what the point was. But today I’m not pushing it nearly as hard, and it has a nice orangey aroma and a soft texture, almost powdery for the first two steeps.
