Default Oolong Taifu


I have this 'Formosa Fancy Superior Oolong Taifu' here and it is one of my
favourites. I brew it with temperatures between 80 and 90C, boiling kills
it. What is remarkable about this tea is that it develops its full aroma
and flavour whith very little tea leaves (about 1g per 250ml, strong
blacks use often 3g). Making the tea stronger seems to diminuish its
quality. Brewed weak it has an almost oily taste and a faintly camomile
flavour, most enjoyable and lingering.
