Wuyi leaves on 2nd steeping

Originally uploaded by zsnit

Had a yummy roasty Wuyi today thanks to Vanessa at the Deli. I believe it’s the Rishi organic wuyi but I’ll confirm that. (yup.) Brewed it at 2 tsp to 8 oz at 180 degrees for 3 minutes. Nice rich caramel color to the tea and a roasted barley nose and flavor with a sweet edge on the finish. Very drinkable and seems like it would be great with food.

Wuyi teas are from the north of Fujian and are characteristically twisted instead of rolled into balls like southern Fujian or the central or southern Taiwan teas we’ve been tasting. The leaves fully open by the second steeping.
