Hi Melinda......i've found that different longjings require different
treatment, which does stand to reason. fact is, i sometimes
adjust temps during the time of possessing a tea, ie, start
out at one temp, and maybe have to change it a bit a month
or two down the road as the tea 'ages'. greens are very
finicky, most of them, as it appears you are discovering......p*

Wow, now that's very interesting. I had not been keeping track closely
enough to notice a change over time in the same tea...It makes sense though.
I'll have to pay attention. Thanks for sharing pilo!
