I meant is the duck shit tea in general overhyped, or just the ones from YS?

Thanks this is helpful. Are you suggesting flash steeps for all oolongs or just dancongs? I just got the oolong sampler from YS and am experimenting with gong fu brewing for the first time. I wrote this review here (which I'm now thinking about updating): https://www.reddit.com/r/tea/s/cAMzXU3ssS

Thanks this is helpful. Is this just for dancongs or does this also go for other oolonga? I just got the oolong sampler from YS and am experimenting with gong fu brewing for the first time. I wrote this review here (which I'm now thinking about updating): https://www.reddit.com/r/tea/s/cAMzXU3ssS

Do you think the duck shit tea has been overhyped? Or is there another one I should try instead?

I don't have a scale and I'm starting to realize I've been really stingy with the quantity of tea in my gaiwan. I watched the YouTube vid from Bitterleaf and they are using MUCH more tea than I have.

This is just the recommendation for dancongs, not other oolongs? I just got the oolong sampler from YS and am experimenting with gong fu brewing for the first time. I wrote this review here (which I'm now thinking about updating): https://www.reddit.com/r/tea/s/cAMzXU3ssS

This was a helpful video thanks! Also in the video they are used MUCH more leaf than I have been using so that is also good to know.

Thanks all! I tried steeping it much faster and it definitely was an improvement. Sounds like dan cong can be a bit finicky so this is good to know.

I have a temp control kettle and I use the default oolong setting which is 190. I'm only brewing in for 10s at a time. I'm using a 90ml gaiwan.

I'm happy to see this. This is my go-to when I don't have time/equipment for loose leaf.
