It’s bunny day, so it seemed fitting to take out my tea pet.
Tea is Jinggu “Wild Tree Purple Moonlight White” from Yunnan Sourcing. I’ve only had white tea a handful of times, really enjoyed it. A little bitter, and felt like a lot of different flavors I couldn’t really identify. I just know I liked it! Made it to about 10 steeps before it started losing flavor, so even the smaller 25g sample I got should last me a good while.
Yeah, I’m messing with the balance each time now to try and reduce bitterness without losing the flavor. The next time I tried with about 3/4th the amount of leaves. Doing 180F at 20 seconds to start with a gradual increase each steep seems like the right area so far!
