I brewed it in a nearly new pot, so that pot has gotten off to a grand start. <BR/><BR/>Phyll, thanks for the beautiful description, <I>"the ghost of a Salserohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17538918784870619787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27506679.post-39021183516391472732008-09-12T10:51:00.000-07:002008-09-12T10:51:00.000-07:00Thanks for these experience!I've tried to brew 13 ...Thanks for these experience!<BR/><BR/>I've tried to brew 13 gr of 1996 Da Hong Pao (from Maison des trois thés - Paris) in 12 cl teapot, It was very interesting, but the cold brew phase didn't last more than 2 days... <BR/>I may have made too much regular "short" brews (over 20: flash at the beginning and around 15 minutes at the end).
