Wan Ling - 2009 Spring Jiu Jiu Jiu TGY

Still nice

My last little foil pack

Mi Lan Dancong from Jing in a squat little yixing pot. Tricky getting the long twiggy leaves in there. Packed with flavor.

Mi Lan Dancong from Jing ....

I think it is high time I tried DC from somewhere other than Tea Habitat, Dragon Tea House and Teacuppa

How do you rate the Jing DCs

The three or so I've had from there were good. Take my rating with a grain of salt - I don't find Dancongs to be especially hard to brew, so I'm clearly doing something wrong.

- I don't find Dancongs to be especially hard to brew, so I'm clearly doing something wrong.

Sounds like my echo, I have not had any of the much quoted issues other Teachatters continually raise, so I must give Jing Teashop a go, the only trouble is I have just raised an order for Pu and Yan Cha from them, so I will probably wait for a while.

Dong Ding Ming Xiang this evening

[brlarson]

3 Stamped Shui Xian, a sample from The Mandarin's Tea Room. Heavily roasted, intense concentration of flavor and saturation of color. Will finish it off tomorrow night.

That tasted and smells a little like miso I think. I liked it though.

1994 Aged Zheng-Cong Mu-Zha Tie Guan Yin from Hou De.

Spring 2009 Lu Shan from Tea Masters. A bit old but upping the leaf slightly still produces a sweet cup. That's indicative of a well crafted tea.

I wanted to up the leaf for the older TGYs that I have had the last 2 days

But the rascals come in individual sealed foil packs, and I thought opening 2 would be a bit excessive

I tried steeping longer, but I think more leaf would have been better

[Victoria]

Well if you don't want to up the leaf, lessen the water, right?
Yeah longer steeping may not work out as well.

Dilemma, I had already chosen the pot , I wanted to use the pot , I really wanted to use that pot

I love slightly overfilling, so that when the lid goes in, a little spurts out - it is sort of part of my ritual

they were still enjoyable.

I have that pot out of my system now, I will use a smaller one on any remaining TGY that is similarily packaged and over 18 months old.

Tea Masters high roast TGY.
