Haiwan Tea Industry (Tuocha tea)
Recent Tasting Notes
This tea is tasty and sweet with a fair amount of fermentation flavor. I only western brewed this this morning but it is good. No time this morning for a gongfu session. There is very little bitterness to this tea and I am sure I would get more complex notes out of it if I gongfud it. As it is it is sweet and tasty.
I brewed this once with 2 mini tuo cha about 10g leaf and boiling water in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker for 1 min.
Flavors: Earth, Sweet
Preparation
I have a sample of very generous tea friend on Steepster. I had it several times but didnt log it, couldnt find since this tea has another name 2010 Haiwan Ultimate Flavor (thats how its sold on ebay and Aliexpress).
Made it last night in my 120cc Yixing. Used 8g 212F.
