As much as I love tea, even I love food more, not much, but a little. I also eat, so I can drink TEA another day.
I am enjoying steep #3 of Sencha Premium. This is the last session of this exceptional sencha, truly outstanding and one of the year's best that I have had. It is a sad passing. Sometimes I am relieved upon finishing a bag. Not this time.

I have just received my sencha premium: I will surely open it this week-end and will be able to compare your brewing parameters with mine.Chip wrote: I am enjoying steep #3 of Sencha Premium.

Yunnan golden tips after work.
Hatsumi sencha right after dinner
Dong ding or maybe rooibos to finish a smooth teaday.

Started the day with the very good Legend of Tung Ting from teahome, now...
90s select aged Nan Tou from Hou De. Mmmnnn, this tea is fantastic! Long aftertaste, 10+ brewing strength, amazing cha qi and reasonably priced.

boiling Fiji water, gaiwan, enough leaves to create a loose weave that totally fills the cup once expanded, quick rinse, 20, 30, 40, 50, 55, +
One reviewer said this about the 90s Nan Tou, I can't say it better so I'm quoting.

"This tea is exquisite. The aged quality is immediately evident--strength, depth, fire. Then follows sweetness, a bold smooth fruitiness--a fragrant quality, but one that's matured, evolved. Finally, a tartness emerges--a counterpoint to the sweetness that brings complexity, wonder. Infusion after infusion flow, losing little in the way of complexity, body, fullness."
