All the Shan Valley teas have been good, but to me this one was the most balanced. Smooth but very flavorful. It will probably end up being my favorite, but I want to give them all another try, as the other steepings were plagued by a combination of bad luck and my own ignorance. I kept steeping them a little too long, didn’t use enough leaf, etc., and while they really held up quite well, I bet they would be better prepared properly.

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 3 min, 30 sec 2 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Not Really My Style:
spices (except for ginger. ginger rocks)
chai (because, you know, the spices)
rooibos (I don’t get it. Everyone seems psyched for it. Not me).
those smoky teas, like lapsang souchong, though once in a while I’ll need something really strong and then I like them.
