Liu An is admittedly not one of my strong suits and I'm relatively
inexperienced with it, but while it isn't a personal favorite either
I can appreciate it a bit more and brewing is more forgiving as far
as what I've seen. I treat it like a green Puerh and a quick rinse
as well as hotter water (90-100c).


Are you sure you're talking about Liu An Guapian here? It sounds as
if you mean the post-fermented Liu An tea, which is quite different: a
tea that most people prefer to drink once it's aged for many years.

seed" Liu An... my bad. Yes, Lew you caught me. Good thing someone's
here to keep me honst
