From More Tea

Semi-ball vibrant green leaves totally unfurl to a pale yellow to golden liquor. Very refreshing, light taste, with vegetable, nutty notes finishing with a delightful honey finish. Addictive energising taste.

Yixing teapot. Tea poured into ceramic balancing pot when brewed.

Washed at boiling.

1st infusion (2 mins at 90C)
Beautiful meadow-like aroma but tasted overbrewed. Sharp tannins on the finish.

2nd infusion (3 mins at 90C)
Flattened out the tannins but also erased the flavour. Hints of vegetal notes with an underlay of nuttiness.

3rd infusion (10 mins at 75C)
I think this was coloured water.

I’m sorry, I wanted to like this but I can’t get the brew right and I’ve certainly had better oolongs.

Flavors: Nutty, Vegetal

Time for my second tea from the April Mr Earl box, and this one’s an oolong! Hooray! How can I like oolongs so much yet be unfazed by most greens? I’m a little baffled.

ANYWAY

this is very nice. First steep water was probably a bit cold because I did it in a mug at work instead of my timolino (too hot, risks of tinniness) and the water cooled super quickly in the mug. Second steep was from hot water stored in the timolino for double the time. Third steep for around 12mins. All good. Good times. Yes nice. Not blowing my mind but very nice.

Do you prefer green or roasted oolongs?

Memily

Haha I’m too much of a detail novice to even know the answer to this. I don’t know. I’ve just noticed that I like oolongs! Is it blindingly obvious what’s green vs what’s roasted?

Courtney

Haha, well in my somewhat limited experience with oolongs, thus far green oolongs brew up to a very light colour – similar to green tea, and roasted oolongs brew up darker, closer to a black tea. :)

Memily

Oh, I’m honestly not sure if I’ve even tried any roasted oolongs! But now I’m very curious.

Courtney

Hehe. I prefer them the roasted thus far, but I also prefer black tea over green. :)

Generally the roasted ones are from China (eg Tie Kuan Yin) while the green ones tend to be Taiwanese. I prefer green myself.
