How much leaf did Denny use at first, and then how much did he add subsequently?
And what happed to the “4 months of puer” ? 🙁
Hey Peter, thanks for the comment as always!
Just a guess, but I would approximate ~3 grams of leaf initially and then he added ~2 grams. At these ratios we ended up with a very strong cup of Teavivre’s Dragonwell, so I think we were both surprised by the lack of strength and flatness in the tea.
Also, my apologies for the confusion around pu’erh content. I meant four months of pu’erh-related article content including a few tea of the months. That being said, we’ve got a bunch of pu’erh video content planned, including a guest appearance in a few weeks by Crimson Lotus who just got back from Yunnan to source pu’erh!
Cheers,
-James
Thanks for the clarification re the puer material. But I think you meant to say Verdant’s Laoshan Green Tea rather than Teavivre’s Dragonwell.
I meant the Dragonwell as a comparison point (of using about the same leaf-water ratio) and ending up with a strong brew.

Ah, my mistake. Thanks for the clarification!
No problem!
