/ck/ - Food & Cooking

it really depends on how much leaf you use op. if you pack a gaiwan full youll want to flash brew, but im assuming since you mention a french press your water/leaf ratio is quit high. experiment with it, a lot of the fun of brewing tea is learning how best to brew each tea.
Im brewing some gaoshan in a gaiwan. light honeysuckle and nuttiness. very green and fresh tasting too. I got it at a local shop owned by an old taiwanese lady. she visits taiwan twice a year to source her gaoshan's spring and winter harvests.
