Heavily.oxidized but unroasted blend of Tie Guan Yin, Mao Xie, and Ben Shan cultivated at a high altitude of around 1000m in Anxi Datong village.

Very interesting tea

Price of buchanqi teacups seem pretty good compared to other vendors that sell them

The meissen cup saucer has a shape that is very fitting for small pots

Vintage/old meissen. Not sure how to date these. Seems more robust than royal coppenhagen.

I wonder if it is worth moving this thread to korean teas

I liked it a lot.

I drink green tea almost exclusively grandpa style since I find gongfu brewing extracts too much bitterness Sounds to me more like an issue of brewing technique... Normally if you do shorter steeps you can control exactly that. Grandpa is actually more risky to get a bitter brew as all the bitterne...

Thanks! Im guessing probably some standard stuff.
