Brewing Yabao?

by Joel Byron » Feb 15th, '13, 19:51

I've got a little bit left of some Yabao white tea and I'd like to experiment with the brewing parameters. I've seen wildly different methods on forums. Anyone got any advice?

yeah. my method.

few grams
1st brew 90 degrees 1,5 min
2nd brew 98 degrees 3 min
3rd brew 98 degrees 6 min

Ya Bao its weird for me. Spicy...sweety...like a pine needles...but sometimes i like drink it.

Brewing Yabao?

I have found yabao to respond favorably to any brewing condition. I literally have been unable to brew it poorly. One time I tried boiling it for 15 minutes give or take and it still tasted great. This teas resilience puzzles me greatly. I have found it to respond best when brewed like the average white tea.
