I have preparaed this tea in my new teapot; and steeped as written. So, only 70°C water and 2 minutes steep. I have used 5 grams. This tea I received from my Swiss friend as a birthday gift, but that’s almost half an year ago.
It is indeed a very mellow tea that much I was afraid if it is steeped at all. It produced a very bright liquor with a slight yellow hue. While the flavors are indeed mild and smooth, they are certainly present. Hay is the most prominent note.
While I generally prefer stronger teas, this one has a certain charm. It’s too mild for my usual preference, but it would be perfect for an early evening cup, especially after (or with) a hearty dinner.
