Perhaps he just meant it had a spicy aroma - or perhaps it smelled like ginger and garlic, which is mostly what my homemade kimchee smells like :-). That is a funny thing to imagine, tea with the aroma of kim chi!

KIMCHEE?! That is *very* hard to imagine, yet alone believe. I've had Woojeon from Shan Shui several times before, and kimchee was the last thing on my mind as I drank it. You might try infusing it for a shorter period, though; I can't imagine infusing such a fine tea for three minutes -- yikes!

Again... KIMCHEE?! Hard to imagine the resemblance at all. I buy my kimchee at the local Korean market, where they make it.
1 - 2 minutes should be about right. No more than 2, except in the later infusions. As I recall, Woojeon was very generous with infusions.N.
