I recently decided to explore some of China's classical green teas and
ordered Supreme Tai Ping Hou Kui and Liu An Gua Pian from Dragon Tea
House. I did not get any brewing recommendations and my initial
attempts to brew the teas in both a glass and a small porcelain pot
yielded a rather bland tea in both cases. It was not weak, just not
very distinct or special in any great way.

Is there a trick to getting the most out of the uniqueness of each of
these teas?
