How to make the uber pot of oolong:
Set up one of your bigger tea pots.
Choose an oolong where the second or third steep is often better than the first.
Steep a couple cups of water in a generous amount of leaf in a separate vessel in the usual fashion.
Strain into larger teapot.
Repeat for at least three steepings (with a bigger teapot you could do more).
Sip the resulting blend of the three steepings and wonder why you don’t do this every morning.
This works especially well with this oolong from TG because the balance of green notes to roasted notes changes with each steep and this way you get the best of each all in the same cup.

Sounds like my next weekend project! Mmm!
It took surprisingly little time, actually.
My friend Steve, who taught me a lot about teas and turned me on to drinking tea a lot more, does this all the time when he steeps tea. This is the first time I’ve read a tealog about it.
