Yeahhhhh helped me understand to space out infusions to let the tea rest. Makes so much sense. Itâs alive!
Interesting tips you provided here, though it seems like a lot of these tips are generally more useful if you specifically seek out a light brew.
Letting the tea rest before the next brew (I feel) is only required if you do not want to brew hot. I always start out with boiling water and for me the brewing becomes more and more difficult once temperature is lost.
I spoke to a tea vendor when I was traveling in Kunming, and he said something I thought was quite interesting, maybe that can explain, why being deliberate about a gentle brewing approach works so well for you? :D
He essentially said that most villages and areas in Yunnan have begun making puerh more like green tea (hotter kill-green step, i.e. killing more of the enzymes in the teas). In his opinion that makes for a more delicate tea in the beginning (though he claims it ages much more astringently). But, what I am pondering is that perhaps that this more modern processing style is better suited to a more careful and refined approach?
For me I typically like bulang and STRONG brews so bitterness is not something that scares me, and according to the person I spoke with, it seems like bulang, Yiwu and a small subset of Jingmai are more 'old school' in their processing, so maybe that's why I typically opt for those areas :)
In any case, thank you for the video, perhaps this is something I can try out in the future and see how it impacts my brews. Have a good one :D
So informative! Great videos, can't believe I've only just stumbled across your channel! Subscribed! đ
Thanks for watching and subscribing, glad you are enjoying the content. New videos each month on the first
I thought that the first steep was for rinsing any impurities from the tea and that we don't drink it but feed it to a tea-pet? Do you have a tea pet I would love to see it. Thanks for the tips
Hi Blue, thanks for watching. I have a great explanation about the first infusion on my video âhow to brew raw Pu-erhâ
Tea letâs are very popular any many people like to use them. I personally do not use any tea pets.
Good tips đđ. Let me ask you... Do you ever drink sencha tea? đ«đ”
I only really drink pu-erh now :)
