Different wulongs require different steeping times; which wulong are your referring to in this post, I would guess Tie Guan Yin, right?

I'm in Guangdong, and I was schooled in the Chaozhou style of Gongfu cha. I'm not sure on my history of Gongfu cha, but isn't it a debate as to where it actually came from?

One last thing, could you please write the Chinese for this or at least the pin-yin. I'm interested in seeing the characters.
