Finishing off the last of this sample this morning – see previous notes for more info.
I have a LOT of oolong I need to finish up in the next few months, perhaps the warmer weather will help, I love cold brewing these green oolongs!

Usually for at least 12 hours overnight but sometimes 24 hours. People say you need to use more tea than you would if you were hot brewing. I’m not very precise, I just eyeball it and throw some in. ha. I have one of these Lupicia coolers, it works well for this purpose. http://www.lupiciausa.com/product_p/41000607.htm
Aha. I have a Teavana one similar to that, but I’ve been hot-brewing then icing/sticking it in the fridge… cold-brewing seems easier though. Thanks :D

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.
I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!
Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)
Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.
I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta
95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around
94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase
89-80 Pretty good, above average
79-70 Acceptable
69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it
59-50 Ick
49 and below Nasty
