Golden Yunnan steeping suggestions?

Oct 24, 2008 Last reply: 17 years ago 2 Replies

Hi I just purchased some GY, of which I know nothing, except that it smells good and was (rather) expensive. I.e. I know nothing of its quality. I would like to give it a fair chance anyway, and googled for some steeping specifications for this brand, but didn't come up with anything general, only widely different opinions As it is rather big-leafed, I would like to get some hints rgd. weight (not spoons) and steeping time. Could someone please help?


best of wishes, ole kvaal


Thanks to the three of you. Yes, I'm getting there now. Next question: if I want to go deeper into the Yunnan thing, what would be your recommended online tea shops?

cheers, ole k

I get really great golden yunnan from Hou De (houdeasianart.com) and IPOT (inpursuitoftea.com). They're about the same in quality and price right now. IPOT used to have better (if I remember right) Golden Yunnan that was more expensive, but they're out of it this season.
