Don't know how big 90mL gaiwan is. hahaha...<br /><br />One tends to use enough leaf to fill the pot 1/3-1/2 full after the leaves have fully expanded, the water is maybe? 80-90 Degrees, the infusions are approx 30s, 45sec, 70sec, 90sec with water temp getting progressively hotter.<br /><br />Sometimes the first infusion is the most dynamic, most times the second infusion is the most exciting, occasionally the third infusion is the most interesting, never is the fourth infusion the best.<br /><br />PeaceMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-71964282646534291042013-05-16T14:11:54.880-07:002013-05-16T14:11:54.880-07:00Thanks, Matt.

Yummy... hahaha<br /><br />Dialogicmediation,<br /><br />Yep, learned it this way in Korea and brew it either this way or in a mug.<br /><br />Darjeeling in a gaiwan comes out very nice, it is especially nice to pull all the high notes out.<br /><br />If you use an yi xing pot, don't use as hot water. Wait off boil for a while and pour high.<br /><br />Either way you usually only get 3-4 good steepings out of Darjeelings.<br /><br />PeaceMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-80305964564667022512013-05-15T16:20:56.168-07:002013-05-15T16:20:56.168-07:00Looks like you steeped tea in Yi Xing teapot.

If so, any suggestions about water temperature, amount of leaves, and length of steeping times?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-3941351624630511822013-05-14T05:10:56.483-07:002013-05-14T05:10:56.483-07:00Those brewed tea leaves look delicious!Those brewed tea leaves look delicious!LuLinhttp://www.lulin-teas.comnoreply@blogger.com
