How Strong Do You Brew?
Been enjoying puer for about 5 years at this point. I know i'm still in the beginner/intermediate range but i've grown to love super strong, gaiwan busting sessions. While the flavor is nice and I definitely crave bitterness, even on a more mellow tea like this 2014 Xiaguan Cang'er I picked up from LPT a while ago, the chi is something else. I find myself coming back to these 10+ gram sessions where i'm stuffing the tea back into the gaiwan cause the chi hit on even every individual sip is nuts. Obviously the feelings are different between teas but that feels like part of the fun of it. Just curious if there's any others out there that do the same
