9Apr- broke in the new gaiwan with this tea. I threw it, so the shapes not quite right. It’s slightly bigger than my other one at about 175 ml. I may need a bigger teacup.
So tea…I think this may be the first earl grey I’ve ever really liked. Most earl greys I find to be too harsh. The bergamot is usually coarse and overpowering. This was light in both the bergamot and the base tea.
175 ml gaiwan, 205F, 6g ish
Leaf smells of bergamot, a clean citrus smell.
10s- tastes of sweet and gentle bergamot. 20, 35s, & 50s- sweet, gentle citrus, sweet potato, honey that lingers. Little bit of malt on later steeps. Steeped it 5 more times.
Perfectly scented/flavored. Really good. 93
Flavors: Bergamot, Honey, Malt, Sweet, Sweet Potatoes

You made your own gaiwan? Awesome! We want pics!
I second the picture request as I’ve been wondering if throwing my own would be possible.
Sure. Just let me figure out how to… :)
