@Leo – an interesting explanation. Do you think slow pouring teapots work OK with Mi Lang Xian dan cong?
I haved tried to infuse Mi Lang Xiang with my Yixing ShuiPing using the top drop technique. My results are on a par with the results that I used with a Gaiwan.
Thanks
Everyone has the right to his/her opinions. As a member of Teachat for more than 3 years, I am not surprised by MarshalN’s responses.
I suggest that you read more and follow your intuition. I have enjoyed Leo’s articles, and his suggestions have improved my health. I often don’t find the same information from other forums or blogs.
Good luck with your tea adventure.

I agree with “tea soul” that a good gaiwan can do a good job with dancong teas especially the bouquet style. It is extremely hard to find a genuine Yixing teapot that has all the required features such as clay, spout, handle, lid, etc… on the internet.
For Mi Lan Xiang Dancong, I use a high density Yixing teapot just because I infuse the tea at a low temperature.Hi Siu,
Thank you for posting the good news. Could you please let me know how many new kraft-alu packs can fit in 1 “tea set box”?Thanks.@Siu, thanks for the information about the puerh. It is a good news since my stock is running low :-).
Regarding the “double baked Wuji Rougui”, yes it is one of the packs that was exposed. The grassy smell I found after the leaves were infused. I assumed that the cold air from the air plane I took last week got into the package and changed the tea. I will try again to verify my taste bud.FYI, I kept all packages in the original paper box; however, I did rearrange them few times when packing for my trip. Your findings explain a lot, and I strongly believe that you found the root cause. I will send you a PM when I could verify the other packages.For now, I am happy that I don’t need to invest on new tea containers; I like the idea reusing the kraft alu pack.Thx SiuL.Unfortunately, it was not the case for me. The sealing of the packages are not intact. For example, I folded the defect packs 3 times and got the result in the second posted picture. BTW, since puerh are not too sensitive to air as Oolong and Green tea are, I am wondering whether I can still use the “Yiwu Large Leaf”.
I noticed that my “double baked Wuyi Rougui” has a funny smell (a bit grassy.).thx.Thanks Leo;
I assume that for the above reasons, people often choose gaiwan to brew Phoenix dangcong oolongs.
