#bitterleaf

Brewing dancong with my current setup unleashes the stingy old man inhabiting my soul. "You want me to use more leaf? More, in this economy!?" He whines. My 120 ml gaiwan is just too wide for Chaozhou style brewing without breaking the bank. Luckily for him, Bitterleaf's Double Scoop played nice using a more conservative leaf-to-water ratio. The dry leaves smell strongly of baked goods and flowers.

Using 200°F water, I cautiously increased brew time by 5 seconds each time to avoid getting pounced by astringency. This tea is thick-bodied, with a buttery feel and lingering aftertaste. It packs a punch of floral flavor. I didn't pick up on any of the caramel tasting notes listed on the vendor's website, nor does it remind me of ice cream. Could be my brewing method. Perhaps I'll add another scoop.

Side note: Good oolong always makes me crave cheese for some reason. If anyone knows a good pairing, do tell!

How Bitter Helps Enhance Your Kidney Function

A study published in the Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences demonstrated that ethanol leaf extract of Vernonia amygdalina ameliorate can protect the liver, kidney and heart of male albino Wistar rats against theobromine induced toxicity and modulates the adverse effects on lipid profile. The extract in Bitter Leaf also protects against kidney damage by restoring to normal values the theobromine induced increase in the serum concentrations of urea and creatinine. Additionally, the theobromine induced alterations in the histology of the liver, heart and kidney sections of the experimental rats were normalized following treatment with ethanol leaf extract of Vernonia amygdalina(Bitter Leaf).” Ethanol leaf extract of Vernonia amygdalina has been reported to protect against kidney impairment and enhance kidney function. *The information you see is researchable and open to public knowledge*
