Oolong from Hampstead Tea

Oolong

Oolong Tea by Hampstead Tea

Brimming with polyphenols, our semi-fermented oolong is a tea of balance. Flavorful, yet mellow, it has a deliciously fruity peach finish.

So my first crack at this one wasn’t overly scientific or well planned, but it was yummy!

I did 2 steeps of around 2mins 30secs each with 1.5 teaspoons of tea. Water was about 85oC. The colour was a caramelly amber for both steeps, slightly lighter on the first. A gorgeous colour!

The taste was soft and oolongy, with almost sweet notes. Really nice to drink. Absolutely no hints of astringency or an odd oolong aftertaste I’ve had elsewhere with teas like vanilla oolong or qhangzhou milk oolong from DavidsTea.

A very nice, easy to drink oolong.

This week was just odd. My medical condition seems to be playing up, so I’ve spent a good part of this week at home on the couch, with my giant box of stargate keeping my company.

I steeped this one a few times on Friday, around 4 1min steeps. A lovely sweet oolong, with a generous amber colour in each steep. Very enjoyable.
