Brewing, origin and taste notes
Brewing
- Process
- ድያንሆንግ ከወተት ጋር ውብ ነው — የርሱ ጥቅጥቅነትና ጥንካሬ ባሕሪውን ሳያጣ «መቋቋም» ያስችለዋል። ለ«ማሳላ ቻይ» እና ለ cold brew እጅግ ተስማሚ ነው።
- Tea amount
- 4–6 g per 100–120 ml (gongfu); 3–4 g per 200–250 ml (European method).
- Teaware
- Porcelain gàiwǎn (盖碗) — optimal for tasting. Yixing teapot — good choice for dense, mature grades. Glass teaware allows admiring the intense color of the liquor.
