I can see why the Gong Fu method of brewing is recommended. I tried these in a travel mug...did not like the results.

I brewed this in a 150mL glass gaiwan with an initial drinkable rinse/steep at 190F for 30s. It started light, flowery and sweet. As the ball opened up, I increased the temperature to 195F then settled on 200F, brewing based on color instead of time. The liquor turned into a ridiculously good beeswax and honey with a little astringency, a little bitterness, a little citric sourness, a viscous texture leading into a waxy mouth coating and a very strong aroma of beeswax. I got 11 steeps this way. SOLID. To help this very compact dragon ball open up, I left the lid of the gaiwan on in between steeps. I’ll be purchasing more for now and for aging.

First time trying these and they taste great I split it in half and get 3 or 4 good glasses of rich tasting tea. Will defiantly buy more of these.

I expected better taste, maybe next try will be better. Shipping without problems. Tracking was available

I bought this tea and travelled all over Spain with it last month and I was the life of the party everywhere I went. People loved this tea and how sweet and fruity it is! I am enjoying even more at home brewing it gong fu style with good spring water.
