#510  This tumble-fired Chinese classic comes in many grades, the finest of which is Temple of Heaven, with its choice leaves and buds making the smallest of “pellets.” The characteristic smokiness at the front of the mouth is succeeded by sweet vegetal; slightly dry finish. Can re-infuse.

Preparation: 3 g tea leaves (1 level teaspoon) per 8 oz cup of filtered water, boiled and cooled to 80°C/176°F. Allow to brew 2 min.
