I’m still new to gaiwan brewing and I botched this batch of tea pretty badly by using water just under boiling. I was under the impression that the short brew time meant most teas could be done at higher temps but that certainly is not true for this one! Delicious buttery cracker notes on the nose, horrendous bitterness on the palate. It’s like this tea is playing hard to get; I need a wingman.

I love tea but that’s also true of most liquids. I don’t discriminate: Bagged, full leaf, coffee, beer… If it goes in a cup I’ll probably like it.

I’m a relative newbie to tea and still have a ton to learn. I have a cat who likes to knock brewed pu-erh onto the carpet. I like turtles.
