Todays tea: I had bought a gaiwan, and I tried brewing with it today, with my yixing black tea. It's a tea-cup like vessel, that you fill with a lot of tea leaf, and you brew multiple infusions over a session. The intent, is because tea compounds diffuse out of the leaf at different rates, so each cup of tea tastes can highlight the different flavors/aroma a tea has.

Anyways, the first three steepings, did not go well due to my inexperience. There's a method to pour out the tea without spilling it everywhere which I've got the hang of now. It was notably bitter, which is never the case with this tea. I likely either used too much tea, too hot water, or steeped too long. All the other steepings taste good. There is a variation in taste, but it wasn't that exceptional to die for. I'd probably save the time to do this brewing on my days off because it takes effort and time. Also, I'm really fucking caffeinated from this.
