Alright August is almost over, and I have never been happier to say that. Before I get too far, I would like to congratulate my brother and his new bride on their wonderful wedding, I can not imagine how tired you two are, but I am exhausted from just being the best man during the wedding week maddness. So once I finally got home today I decided to have a great tea to celebrate.
Origin Tea Private collection 102K Da Yu Ling. What a great tea, just what I needed in so many ways, a massive dose of energy, yet a relaxing effect. Honestly I think I just needed time to myself, to listen to good music, and breath deeply. After this whole month I really think I need to look into meditating again, holy smokes.
That is the first infusion above. Incredible tea, might just crack my top 5 teas of all time, and yes all those leaves are sticking out of the pot a good inch or so after just the first infusion. I know there is a method for brewing Gyokuro jokingly referred to as drip tea, I think that is honestly how I am brewing this Da Yu Ling and loving it. Now somewhere past infusion number 8, there is no pour when I pour, only a stream of drips for a few minutes until even those stop. Though it is still going very strong with no sign of stopping in sight.
I hope to be back to updating more often now. Congratulations Erik and Jackie, enjoy your honeymoon!
