I am new to the world of loose teas, and have just bought 100g of
Darjeeling. I notice that after brewing, I pour two cups, and the first
is light and with little flavour, while the second is quite astringent.
Should I mix the tea before pouring? Thank you in advance.

Welcome.

The Asian answer to this problem is simple and
eminently effective; simply pour back and forth
between two side-by-side cups when you decant - a second
or two in one, then without lifting up the pot,
slide it over to the second cup. Continue until
pot is empty. In this way, you get similar tea
in both cups.............................................. p*
