Any advice for brewing this one gongfu style? http://www.harney.com/fenghuangshuixiang.html
I get 3 nice steeps just casual western style, 1.5 tsp, 6 oz.. @185 for 3 mins each.
I would like to try this tea gonfu style.
Em, Feng Huang use to be Dan Cong teas from Guandong, but Shui Xian is a lower quality Wuyi, but I guess I would just treat it as an usual Shiu Xian. I use to brew my SX in a 1 decilitre pot with 95 degrees Celsius and as much leaf as to fill the pot when they expand. I do four steeps, 45 s, 60 s, 90 s, 120 s.
The noise comes from the other side of the mirror
Feng Huang Shui Xian is different from Wuyi Shui Xian. My understanding is that dancong is a particular grade of shui xian (dancong just means single bush, even though it's usually mostly used to refer to teas from Feng Huang Shan, e.g., Feng Huang Dan Cong).
Imen's take on this:

Whether there is some relation (way back) between the two Shui Xians is a subject of some debate.
I have some Feng Huang Shui Xian that should be excellent, but haven't brewed it yet. However, I think you should be able to brew it roughly the same as a dancong.
