So, we're having Yunnan Jig today. It's a great tea! Very smokey, though, but not in a bad way. I think I'm done with double brewing my tea leaves. It makes for a weaker, less flavorful cup. I'm also concerned about the caffeine part, since I saw a method decaffinating tea by brewing it for 30 seconds (which gets out 80% of the caffeine), and then brewing again in fresh water for the remaining brewing time. This means that I'm getting far less caffeine out of the second cup.
Another issue that I come across is that my cup gets stained by the tea. I have to scrub out the stains, though I guess I could bleach involved, but that's no fun, either. I need to bring my tea pot to work.
One last thing. It's taken me a while to realize that the different teas from Adagio have musical names: Harmony, Concerto, Sonata, Melody. I guess that goes with Adagio…according to Wikipedia's disambiguation page
Adagio (from Italian ad agio, 'at ease') may refer to:
Adagio, in musical notation, a tempo marking indicating that the music is to be played slowly
I imagine that they want you to drink your tea slowly, or maybe simply be at ease.
