Yeahhhhh helped me understand to space out infusions to let the tea rest. Makes so much sense. It’s alive!
So informative! Great videos, can't believe I've only just stumbled across your channel! Subscribed! 👌
Thanks for watching and subscribing, glad you are enjoying the content. New videos each month on the first
Interesting tips you provided here, though it seems like a lot of these tips are generally more useful if you specifically seek out a light brew.
Letting the tea rest before the next brew (I feel) is only required if you do not want to brew hot. I always start out with boiling water and for me the brewing becomes more and more difficult once temperature is lost.
I spoke to a tea vendor when I was traveling in Kunming, and he said something I thought was quite interesting, maybe that can explain, why being deliberate about a gentle brewing approach works so well for you? :D
He essentially said that most villages and areas in Yunnan have begun making puerh more like green tea (hotter kill-green step, i.e. killing more of the enzymes in the teas). In his opinion that makes for a more delicate tea in the beginning (though he claims it ages much more astringently). But, what I am pondering is that perhaps that this more modern processing style is better suited to a more careful and refined approach?
For me I typically like bulang and STRONG brews so bitterness is not something that scares me, and according to the person I spoke with, it seems like bulang, Yiwu and a small subset of Jingmai are more 'old school' in their processing, so maybe that's why I typically opt for those areas :)
In any case, thank you for the video, perhaps this is something I can try out in the future and see how it impacts my brews. Have a good one :D
I thought that the first steep was for rinsing any impurities from the tea and that we don't drink it but feed it to a tea-pet? Do you have a tea pet I would love to see it. Thanks for the tips
Hi Blue, thanks for watching. I have a great explanation about the first infusion on my video “how to brew raw Pu-erh”
Tea let’s are very popular any many people like to use them. I personally do not use any tea pets.
Good tips 👍😊. Let me ask you... Do you ever drink sencha tea? 🫖🍵
I only really drink pu-erh now :)
