Oh this tea is delicious. Sooooo milky. In fact it’s so milky I was wondering if it was flavoured but I’m not getting any tongue tingling I get when flavours are added. The package does not show it as flavoured either.
I brewed it in my gaiwan with the infuser this morning. I’m loving this gaiwan and think I will get more like it. I find it a bit annoying to transfer from a gaiwan to a pouring pitcher. This just simplifies the process with it’s own infuser.
So did a quick rinse on the leaves this morning and even from the quick rinse I was reluctant to throw away the water. A beautiful milky aroma was coming from it.
Meant to brew 30 for first brew but it went 50 before I got to it. Didn’t matter. It was still good. There might be a faint floral aroma from this tea but it’s mostly all milky & buttery , smooth & sweet. Yum!
Flavors: Butter, Floral, Milk, Smooth, Sweet
Where did you get your gaiwan with infuser? I have the awesome multifunctional gaiwan from Teavivre and I love it!
I got it from this seller on Aliexpress. This seller has some really nice gaiwans.

And here’s a basic white cheap one from Yunnan Sourcing. I plan on adding this one to my next order.

Forgot to ask- What does your multifunctional gaiwan from Teavivre look like?
Oh, I see, like an easy gaiwan with strainer. I have one from Teavivre that is more like an in-cup infuser in a glass pitcher. I really like it : http://www.teavivre.com/blue-and-white-porcelain-multifunctional-gaiwan/
Nice! A bit pricey for a gaiwan but it’s really pretty.
