ADVENT DAY 19, tea 3/3

Hmm, an oolong. Alishan oolong.
Gaiwan time again; so 5 grams / 125 ml and boiling water.

So yes, gongfu with rather longer steeps… first three were 60/40/70 seconds long and then I just steeped it as long as I thought it is just right.

Definitely it is a floral bomb, lilacs and orchids… and in flavour a very mild, slightly green oolong notes (grass and meadows) and as well as some milkiness.

I believe I had better oolongs, but this is a very fine example for daily drinking. Or, maybe rather, a no fuss drinking. I have no comparation if it is not too expensive for that, though.

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 1 min, 0 sec 5 g 4 OZ / 125 ML

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Black teas are preferred, but I am drinking almost anything.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Working in logistics.

Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you.
