Sure; I often brew oolongs with a moderate amount of leaf and get 3 or
4 good longer-than-gongfu steeps. You probably shouldn't call it gong
fu, though. I've even had good results sometimes with very little
leaf and a single long steep. Maybe that's reverse gong fu?


I believe the technical term is "uf gnog" - please try to be precise on this
newsgroup.

Uf! I stand corrected.

As well you should.

I have often deployed the uf gnog technique by way of practice. Those among
you who have found it in your hearts to forgive me for breaking expensive
gaiwan lids can only imagine what I have done to tasting and aroma cups as I
gracelessly flip them over in the classic manner of Brooklyn. I have been
told from other sources however that spills and breakage are more tolerable
in uf gnog than gung fu. Others are in a better position to comment.

I'm drinking a Wulong from Big Apple this morning and find it absolutely
charming. On another note, I've been brewing my gung fu tea purposely
stronger than I usually do, and to good effect. (Maybe that wasn't on
another note.)
