How Should I be Brewing Taiwanese Oolongs (Baozhong)?

I recently bought some oolongs from taiwan tea craft and Im having trouble brewing this baozhong.

I tried brewing it grandpa-style (7g with 1l of 90°C water) and its missing the vegetal notes. It taste sweet and creamy, with a slight astringency.

Any advice on how to brew taiwanese oolongs in general?

I brew higher oxidized and/or roasted taiwanese oolongs with 95°C water, rinsing with 100°C water if its rolled. I brew lower oxidized and/or roasted taiwanese oolongs with 90°C water, rinsing with 95°C water if its rolled.

I recently asked how I should be brewing oolongs grandpa-style and a few people said that grandpa-style might not be ideal. Which tea(s) would you say work well grandpa-style?

Im assuming heichas (including both raw and ripe puer), some white teas (aged and/or compressed), and maybe red (black) teas?

Im assuming most teas are best brewed gongfu-style?

Edit: I saw some green teas that seem good for grandpa-style brewing on ort.

how have green teas brewed grandpa-style worked for you? Im assuming cooler water should be used?

Id like to learn how to enjoy steaks and Im wondering which restaurant(s) youd recommend that have "cheap" steaks to start?

Ive tried fogo de chao and thought it was ok.

Edit: Appreciate might be a better word than enjoy.

Sorry for the oddly worded title

Ive been drinking mostly oolongs and puers and Id like to try other types of chinese teas? Which vendor(s) youd recommend for the other types of chinese teas?

Based on the vendors list, it seems like iteaworld is good for green teas and ort seems good for green, white, and yellow teas?

I did a quick search and found out that some black and white teas are made in fujian and yunnan. So, Im assuming yancha and puer vendors might also make good black and white teas?

I heard that indian black teas and japanese green teas dont work well gongfu style; is that true?

Edit: Actually, I havent tried anxi oolongs. Any recommemdations for them?
