I finally got around to giving this the full gongfu treatment today. It tastes much better this way. It was a little bit sweet and a little bit bitter with that classic oolong bitterness that comes off tasting somewhat good. There is also a mild effect from the gaba, not as much as I would like.
I steeped this five times in a 180 ml teapot. I used 6g leaf and 190 degree water. I steeped it for 15 sec, 15 sec, 15 sec, 30 sec, and 1 min. I liked this much better with the gongfu treatment than western style. I picked a gaba tea tonight because my morning tea will be at 6 am tomorrow and I can’t afford to stay awake. Thankfully I am not feeling a caffeine effect tonight.
