Brewing, origin and taste notes

Brewing
Process
ምርጡ ጣዕም በ2ኛው እና በ3ኛው ማፍሰሻ ላይ ነው፦ በዚህ ጊዜ ጥራዞቹ ሙሉ በሙሉ ተከፍተው ከፍተኛውን መዓዛና ጣፋጭነት ይሰጣሉ። የመረቁ አፕሪኮት-ወርቃማ ቀለም ለዚህ ሻይ የተለመደ ነው፣ የማረጅ ምልክት አይደለም።
Tea amount
5 g per 250 ml water (1:50 ratio). Dense pellets are heavier than loose tea, so visually the portion appears small.
Teaware
Glass tumbler — for observing pellet opening, which unfolds in water like orchid flowers (如兰花舒展). White porcelain gaiwan — for precise aroma control.
