A cup of after dinner Pu-Erh...just finished
A cup of Assam Assam Hattialli FTGFOP now.
I received the first of the two parcels with new teas
3 China Black and Genmai-Cha.
I tried Gen-Mai-Cha today and like it. It is the second Genmaicha in my short tea-life and it is better than the first one, from NBTea. It is smoother with a hint of sweetness that is very elusive almost not there but is there.
There was a picture of Genmai-Cha on the online's website, but I thought it was just a marketing trick, because it shows some sort of white flower or
popcorn? I was wrong. This white stuff is present in tea
Another oddity is China Black.
Yunnan Black Golden Tips
Golden Needle
Finest Keemun Mao
The same steeping instructions for the three.
All 4 (including Genmai-Cha) are advised to be rinsed with hot water...like the tea master on Masterclass in Tea Smith in London suggested.
80-90°C water
Can be re-infused approx. 4 times.
Black tea re-infused?
and not 100°C?
So far, I like PekoeTea Online Store. Interesting teas, decent prices, efficient package - resealable foil bags.
