Yay, oolong!
I have conferred with myself and voted oolong to be one of my favorite teas from now on. Oh, I always liked oolong but today I decided to love them.
And how can I not? You get small puny tiny leaves and after steeping GREAT & HUGE leafs takes over your little mug. The color of the tea is yellow – such a yummy color.
The tea smells of some kind of berry (I know, strange…) flowers and veggies.
First sip: CARDEMOM.
Yup. It’s cardemom flavor, I am sure of it. I wonder if I should try to steep it at a lower temp. to get the flavors the other peeps are tasting?
Still Digging into the Package Doulton send me.
Cheers ;)
Do you recall the temperature and steep time you used?
85-90 celcius. 4 min.
Temperature is ok. Try just 2 minutes, with three steeps. You can get different flavors on each steep.
Sometimes 1 minute steeps are sufficient also.
