Just driving out excess humidity. You usually take a bit out and brew it to determine if humidity crept in or not.Baisao wrote: ↑Thu Jan 23, 2020 7:17 pmWas he talking about waking the tea or something on par with genuine roasting?
I have a ceramic pot with a hollow handle that is used for waking tea in Korea. It holds no more than enough loose tea to make a couple of pots; indeed, it is ideal for roasting enough tea for one pot at a time. People say it is for roasting tea but I think that is vernacular for something more modest.
Teas best suited for grandpa style
@Baisao I don't think I want to try my hand at home roasting either. Excessive humidity isn't really an issue for me here in the upper Midwest so doesn't seem to be any reason to attempt it.
