Today I’m drinking an oolong I got in a swap with a blogger from Singapore, thanks Wilson. It is called Tie Lo Han oolong and it is quite good. It is lightly roasted from what I can tell.It had a roasted flavor in the first steep that began to go away by the second steep. By the last and fifth steep it was all but a memory. There was a hard to describe sweet flavor behind this roasted flavor. This was good tea that you just can’t get in the states.
I brewed this tea five times in a 220ml gaiwan with 9.3g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse and a 10 minute rest. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 15 sec, and 30 sec. Judging by the color in the fifth steep there were one or two steeps left to this tea had I wanted to continue.
Flavors: Roasted
