When I was first getting into tea I wasn't expecting to enjoy low oxidation oolongs as much as I did (due to being biased against green tea from my upbringing), but they are so pleasant. Not picky about brewing parameters either!
@grantmiller60023 ай бұрын
I also found they are super forgiving of temp and brew time. I just sorta steep until the leaves are soaked through and no longer have dry spots visible which happens usually at the 6-7 steep mark. Also GABA oolongs are quite different and interesting as well.

Since you’ve tried both, which one do you prefer? The greener oolong or the darker oolong?
@amandah2866 Жыл бұрын
@@snehalkrishnan618 I don't really have a preference. But it depends on what you like, if you prefer a more smokey less vegetal flavour you're more likely to like darker oolong.

I like oolongs as an "all day" tea where I make a steep every so often throughout the day when I want it. Not really a "waking up" tea. For my wake up tea I go with a high test Japanese green or a red tea. Also recently learned of the "grandpa method" which works good for the "mids" teas as long as they don't get bitter after long steeps.

I like to recommend Oolong to people who are interested in green tea but have a hard time with the grassy notes because in my opinion the well roundedness and floral notes give an introduction to the great parts of green tea. Also the robust nature of the leaves are a great way of introducing people to lower temperature steeps
