Average bubbles with slight towards dark appearance. When drinking taste more towards strong malty taste with bitterness but pretty smooth. Slight vanilla taste and toasty.

Dunkel is a kind of dark larger produced in German in origin. It uses dark malt – Munich malt. Because of its techniques that produce the malt which left the malt slightly scorched.

I made a mistake in pouring Dunkel which many reference need to pour with certain bubbles form on top of the mug. A kind of way to release its protein and taste. We will try again if got another chance.

I have opted to add a small tea pot to enjoy tea at night my self if not much people tasting with me.

I got a 宜兴 purple clay and cup for one person use. Together a tray made by aged clay. It is amazing that when you pour tea with some leaks on it. It will absorb in seconds. According to the vendor that this tray will eventually be more beautiful across time.

With Chinese writings on top of the tea tray. It brings the feel of tea tasting to a much romantic environment. In mandarin expressed as 诗情畫意。

Sternweisse – appearance with deep brown. Fine bubbles but quickly disappeared. Smell malty and slight skunky. Covered by champaign like top. When first sip full of natural wheat taste. Bold with slight hoppy. Citrus feel when reaching to throat. Crispy and malty after taste that stay strong. One of the top taste natural unfiltered wheat beer.

Appearance of dark brown with Osmanthus aroma. Colour of the tea appeared clear light brown. Sip into mouth filled of Osmanthus. After taste deepen using reduction clay. However, it is not as bold as I expected. Taste fading after third round of making.

Appearance slight green but majority grey dark. Mild greenish bark smell.

Ready made is tripling the effect of the bark taste. Clear yellow gold appearance. The taste immediately spread over all over the tongue. After taste depth is reasonable but not very deep. Perhaps a good morning serving partner.

Very aromatic milky green tea smell added with deep fried taste. A strong charcoal with rice aroma when first sip. The aroma double when in the mouth. After taste is acceptable but is not bold.
A great after dinner tea.

Fine bubbles with light yellow gold appearance. Aromatic malty smell with bold barely malt taste. Following with hoppy and bitter in depth. Bitter after taste shown German tradition. A very bold character hoppy beer. In certain circumstances, I do like this beer a lot.

Testing electrical boiler for Chinese tea tasting. It has features include auto cut off, re-heating when temp drop below 70°. If water level is only 1/4 of the tea pot. The heating function will not kick start.

Going for the second time for Karigane. I have used water temp between 80-85°. With 1st brewing of 1min and 30 secs. 2nd brewing of 1 min and 3rd brewing of 1 min and 30 seconds. I believe I have a better result this time round.

The final product is a green tea that smell milky or close to soya too. Aroma start filling in my mouth when start drinking. Character is fresh, green and bold. After taste of the “Tea Chi” is strong and stay very long. Uniqueness to me is taste very greenish.
