Pure Heart Alishan Oolong from Asha Tea House
59

First impression is that of a chamomile tea. Nice taste, but it was not supposed to be an herbal tea. After 10 minutes on the warmer, the juice begun to taste like a cough sirup. Less sweet of course. No, this is not the most pleasant sensation. I have tried the tea in my new zisha cup and also in a glass. Zisha makes the tea more bitter, it tastes better when drunk from a glass cup. The second steep made the tea much better. Now it is grassy green, fragrant, minty. It also tastes better upon cooling.
I will try again tomorrow. Another container, perhaps longer brewing time and less hot water. So far, I am not overly impressed.
