My free sample (thank you twitter!) arrived today, and so I naturally had to try this “sneak preview.” Very jasmine-scented and -flavored, it has almost no notes of the oolong base. First steep – 180F, 4:30. Second steep – 185F, 4:15. Third steep – 175F, 3:45.
I’ve actually discovered that a shorter steep gives more flavor. I haven’t gotten mine yet, but I love their Jasmine #12 at 3min so maybe give that a try. A temp of ~200 might be better as well.
I tried it today (3:00 @ 200F) and it was much better.
