Thanks, Leo! I’m really excited about this new experiences, it’s just like discovering a whole new world!
Suppose you have some oolong that would yield many infusions.. what do you do with the leaves, if you can’t have all the infusions at that moment? Will you keep them in the teapot until later? I saw some commentary on this, somewhere in this forum, but it was not very specific.
How can I avoid spoiling the tea, if I want to drink a little now and some more later?
How long can I keep the leaves?
I’ve read statements like “it’s better to infuse and keep the liquid on the refrigerator than storing the leaves”.. but it doesn’t sound like a good idea.
By the way… gaiwans are such a simple + smart design! I’m very surprised they are not available, and I couldn’t find anything similar (the regular mug spills a lot of tea when I try to transfer it to another cup). I’ll have to do an investigation on possible substitutes for tea wares… There are some ceramic milk jugs that look like a chahai, I think they’d be helpful
