Asian supermarket find.
I bought it more than a year ago. Several times made western. Boring. wanted to toss until today i found from Mark T. Wendell website its “grown in the northern Wu Yi mountains of China’s Fujian province, this oolong is a unique find. Its leaves are robust and twisted with a high aroma, typical for this special grade of tea. Min-Pei is light in character with a natural orchid-like flavor and produces a clear, bright amber cup color when brewed.”
Today i made it my usual Gongfu method
6g 100ml gaiwan 200F
rinse/pause/10/10/15/20sec etc
this tea is very good. Very sweet lingering long aftertaste. Roasty and sweet.
So glad i gave it a shot.

I have an unopened package of Puerh from my local Asian mart bought about five years ago. Maybe if I open it and try it I will be as lucky as you. I love the tea aisle of my local Asian Market in Henpstead, LI. NOt too far from you in Brooklyn, called V&T Supermarket. Got a couple of half decent shous from them but nothing great. I did find a nice tea steeping mug for $5. It was similar to what the Pleasures of Tea was selling for $13.
Allan, that’s the place I got it from on Ave U. Haven’t been there for a long time. Perhaps I should ;). You are right about the mug, got mine around $5-6 . Very nice design.
You guys are close. And “Yay” Steepster seems fixed!
Not everything but I’m thankful. I cannot sort my cupboard but I’m so happy it’s running, updating, I finally can send messages. Lets keep it this way
I never see loose oolong at Asian markets!
