what you mean

yeah

if I understand what you're trying to say, it's fine to leave the leaves in after you pour

doesn't that make the next pour bitter tho

not at all, in my experience. the amount of water left over is negligible

These teas aren't bitter in my experience

mhm oke

taiwanese oolongs dont really get bitter

even if you oversteep

Only greens are bitter, and japs love that shit

do try the jin xuan gongfu style at least once though

I tried both methods and gongfu was just amazing

lasted me like 7 steeps before losing flavour

you can just do it with another cup if you dont have equipment

also, /ck/ has a tea general

snort tea leaves for the most fufilling experience

is the amount of leaves and steep time the only difference between the two?

also water

but other than that, that's all there is to it

I see

well, got to get a scale

cant wait to try me first tea

ty fam

np

peruvian tea general when? i still have about 100g of dried coca leaves

good tea against headaches

what pot do you use for gongfu, transience?

I'm just using my ceramic teapot until my gaiwan gets here

the cup thingys?

and a sieve while pouring because the spout is big enough for tea to fall out of it

gaiwans are the cups right?

gaiwans are the brewing thing

this I meant

yup, you're meant to steep in them and then pour from them http://drinks.seriouseats.com/images/2012/07/20120726-pouring-tea.jpg

there are "easy gaiwans" that do double as cup
