Interesting! I just tried this in the clay teapot it came with, and it wasn’t as good as I remembered. I suspect this is a combination of me not having the steeping parameters quite right, and my teapot still being very “thirsty”. I had some leftover tea at the end of the session, so instead of throwing it in the fridge for tomorrow morning I poured it into the teapot and I think I’ll just leave it overnight to think about life. Maybe I’ll try it in the gaiwan next…

Well it has been over a year and everyone I know thinks my tea obsession is a bit out of hand, so… I guess I’m not a total newbie anymore. :)

I’m drinking a lot more pure tea these days, though I still love a good flavoured blend too. Current favourites: Chinese and Taiwanese blacks, fresh Chinese greens, oolongs both green and roasted, sheng puer.

I really love companies that buy directly from tea farmers, and have an emphasis on quality and sustainability. Favourites: Verdant, Whispering Pines, Eco Cha, White 2 Tea. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, so I buy almost all my tea online.

For hot tea, I’m usually brewing in either a 100ml gaiwan, or a 10oz mug with a steeping basket. For cold tea, I cold brew overnight in 500ml mason jars.

My cupboard on Steepster doesn’t include small samples, just the ones I have at least 15g of. So if you see something you’re interested in, I probably have enough to share. :)
