Formosa Oolong from Cup of Tea

Steepster Score 2 Ratings Rate This Tea

72/100

Formosa Oolong

Oolong Tea by Cup of Tea

This tea is a tippy tea, with natural fruity aromas that produces a sweet tasting bright-reddish orange tea liquor without a strong bitterness. Dried leaves of high quality should exhibit a pleasant aroma with leaf colouration of dark purple and brown tones with white hairs.

This is basically my every day tea. I actually have an yixing pot seasoned for Dong fang mei ren and this is the particular tea I use most. Makes a really nice, full cup. The first couple infusions have a slightly barky, nutty flavour. Later infusions produce a sweet honey/melon flavour.

I’ve gotten my best results with this tea in my yixing pot using short infusions with a moderate amount of leaves. Because of the robust flavour , a little leaf can go a long way with this particular tea.
