fcgamer | 4,729 Posted August 7, 2023 Author Share Posted August 7, 2023 Upgraded the setup last night with one of these trays, which then drains below the table. @spacepupHow was that ruby red? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacepup | 2,405 Administrator · Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Well, I got it right before I left for vacation, so I haven't been able to try it yet. I did get back recently though so I definitely plan to try it soon. I'll share some pics and my thoughts once I finally try it out. The place I got it from, lists the following instructions: "Use 2 grams of leaf per 100ml of water at 91-93c. Again, brew for no longer than 30 seconds at first, gradually adding 15-20 seconds per re-steep." I'm curious to your thoughts on this and if you would suggest anything different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I just ran it past my friend who owns a tea shop, he says that these instructions are solid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,729 Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 Made some ruby red tonight followed by a rolled oolong from tea master Wang. I definitely preferred the ruby red, the oolong was a bit more astringent, but it pulled together nicely as time progressed. You can see the comparison in color between the ruby red and the oolong, which is much lighter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcgamer | 4,729 Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) The best part though is if you make extra...the iced tea the next day is heavenly Edit: pro tip - use a two person pot, that way you brew more per infusion than you'll want to drink, then chill the rest rather than slopping it over your tea pet.

Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I guess it's pretty basic, but I always liked relaxing with some hot green tea in the evenings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcgamer | 4,729 Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share Posted August 10, 2023 Brewed some of Mr Lin's Dust Shop Tea tonight. It's an aged Jin Xuan tea. Due to its aging, it doesn't have as much of that milky flavor that Jin Xuan is generally known for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,729 Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 Last night tried a different Jin Xuan tea, this one a colleague gave me for a present several months back. This is definitely a much better representation of the style than Mr Lin's Dust Shop Tea. Has that classic smooth and buttery taste, not very bitter, compared to Lin's which had flipped back and forth quite a few times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
