Sing Tea: Milky Oolong 100 g

Milky Oolong is a golden tea that is clearly related to green teas, but it is sweeter in taste. A traditional Chinese tea with beautiful long dark leaves. Milky oolong has a soft and round taste with a distinct note of milk, but the tea has nothing to do with milk.

Oolong is a semi-oxidized tea.

During processing, the leaves briefly began an oxidation process, which was interrupted by drying to preserve the p mainly from Taiwan and China.

Preparation

Milky oolong is brewed in a small preheated teapot. Be careful not to use too much tea.

The water must not boil for a long time, as this will boil the oxygen out of the water.

Use 1 tsp. tea per cup.

The leaves are poured with 80-85 degrees hot water.

Steeping time: 3 – 4 minutes.

The leaves can be used 2-3 times.

Tips

By small pot, we mean a Japanese tokoname teapot with an internal strainer. The advantage of the small pot is that you brew 1-2 cups at a time, after which you add more tempered water when you are ready for the next cup. This way you exploit the potential of the leaves by brewing several times, and you get the experience of a fresh cup of tea.

If you brew too much, the tea can also be stored in the refrigerator and enjoyed cold.

Store dry and cool.
