I have significantly reduced stray tea fragments from invading my living quarters.<BR/><BR/>I use my tray to pry off small chunks at a time for gong-fu cha. I use both chunks and fragments, though sometimes I'll dump fannings into a debris vessel (both shu and sheng).

Haha. We tried a mixture of tea fannings and leftovers before and it was complex indeed. The first brew was really strong because of the fannings and was a challenge to pour out the tea fast. The taste is strange as it is and will definitely give you a caffeine ride. Good luck. :)<BR/><BR/>--STAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
