It is mainly for brewing aged teas and high fired low end teas. This is a skillful and more complicated way to brew a pot of kung fu tea.

Dan Cong contains thousands by veriatal, grade, age of plant, crop condition, mountain location, altitude, and so on. There are many dan cong teas that aren't astringent and bitter.

Anyway. <br /><br />I also use this technique to drink shu puerh when I feel lazy... Didn't try it with sheng yet, but with a very small amount of it (1 gr. maybe?), it might be really good too!Leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00490221822509859090noreply@blogger.com
