It's quite a huge thing, isn't it? I mean, you can get really high :-) ;-) by achieving that, don't you?<br /><br />I'll definitely try that: both Darjeeling GFC and overjoy my mind brewing tea intuitively (even if my mind always wants to keep track).Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092164269994178595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-3779844553476635322009-09-03T07:46:33.888-07:002009-09-03T07:46:33.888-07:00Jason,

This is what I'm finding out with Pu-erh. A lot of people matter in bringing the right Pu-erh to market. To me, they're on a par with Darjeelings for this reason. <a href="http://www.jasonwitt.org/spirituality-of-tea.html" rel="nofollow">--Spirituality of Tea</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-70224812017404723202009-09-02T18:15:46.834-07:002009-09-02T18:15:46.834-07:00Marisa,

Thanks for taking the time to post about your new found passion.<br /><br />Darjeeling Gong Fu Cha is the way they brew it in Asia. So, its just an old habit, a good habit. It really lets you become more intimate with the tea- allowing you to disseminate it, reflect on it.<br /><br />A lot of tea goes into the pot, the pot is filled about 1/3-1/4 full of dry leaf. Usually 5 infusions are about as far as these teas can be stretched, sometimes more, sometimes less.<br /><br />30sec, 40sec, 50sec, 60sec, 2 min, 5 min but really one doesn't keep track exactly but just plays with the times intuitively.<br /><br />It's fun playing with tea, overjoying the mind.<br /><br />Give it a try...<br /><br />Just for the fun of it!<br /><br />PeaceMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-90766624709995713532009-09-02T10:17:39.005-07:002009-09-02T10:17:39.005-07:00Hi Matt,

As you've put it: when it's time to make tea, the tea matters, the water matters, the intent matters. <br /><br />The intent matters indeed, a lot. And you know what? I think you express worderfully your intent through your pictures. For me, they're simple and elegant at the same time: beautiful.<br /><br />I never infused a Darjeeling 2nd flush in a Gong Fu Cha way. Interesting... How many infusions did you do and how long were they? Did you put a great deal of tea in your teapot?Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092164269994178595noreply@blogger.com
