Followed the instructions this time which was 90c for two minutes.

It's a very mild brew. This one in my opinion needs to be brewed stronger. Very lightly green. Not much flavor.

It produces a beautiful light jade green color but the pictures cannot Justify the true color in real life.

As it's a Chinese green tea, these things can stand a much hotter water when making the tea. Most of them are wok fried to stabilize the color and flavor instead of the japanese way of steaming It.

This has a very gentle flavor. No bean flavor like from what you might get from something like a longjing. Very pleasant and light. I'll play around with two bags worth in a gaiwan and no tea bags to get more flavor out of it and report back.

But I'll finish this up first before doing that.

This one is the darker processed one!

Yes!

Lol.

A Chinese-owned mine unleashed one of the world's worst toxic spills. Now victims say the CCP and local officials are trying to silence them. Here's what really happened.

Two tea bags worth

100ml gaiwan

95c water

Didn't realize it was the bagged kind. I mean it makes sense it's a place that sells the the general public and not tea people that drink in gaiwans.

First steep was 30 seconds in the bags.

It was quite nice and pleasant. Floral. Fruity. Very light oolong. Lots of osmanthus smell and flavor. Quite feminine.

I opted to open up the bags. Weighed them both. Came out to 6.69grams. minus the bags more or less Yung butal Yung bags.

I thought I would have liked it more when I let the tea to open up more without the bags.

And yes, the oolong had the chance to unfurl and let the flavor open up more. Kaso it overpowered the flavor of the osmanthus flowers and it tasted more like the oolong. Probably this is dongding or some sort of high mountain oolong. Better than the crap I have in a 500 grams na high mountain oolong. Loooool.

Next Time I won't remove it from the bags and try it out as intended.

Dahil may nalimutan, repost uli.

Ginger turmeric honey lemon and black pepper.

A hot mug of lemon honey dongding oolong

Subok lang.

Tig 12g lang pala to.

So at most 2 sessions sa gaiwan.

Ok, tikim lang bale.

189 per can.

teavivre likes to store it in his chiller in a bag.

learned this trick a couple months back.

but i store mine in its original packaging in a ziplock bag frozen to keep the smells away from the tea.

according to this video, pati ren pala lightly oxidized oolongs should be stored this way den. i guess i'm doing that tomorrow. lol.

i have enough tea for years.

kelan ba next meet? gusto ko na pamigay yung mga tea ko na di ko iniinom. lol.

Maiba naman

From the Philippines and Japan to Guam and Hawaii, an estimated 40,000 troops from over 30 countries are taking part in a series of overlapping military exercises, including Kamandag, Resolute Dragon, Valiant Shield and RIMPAC. Another estimated 100,000 Taiwanese troops are also participating in the concurrent Immediate Combat Readiness Exercise. These simultaneous drills across the First and Second Island Chains come amid growing tensions with China and debate over whether the US is reducing or strengthening its commitment to its regional allies. What message are these exercises intended to send to Beijing and others? In this episode, we examine the strategic significance of this unprecedented concentration of military activity and what it reveals about the future of Indo-Pacific security.

Good thing I don't mind Ang mga flavors nito. I happen to like ginger and lime together.

It smells floral

Tastes green, a bit like beans, mildly sweet

100c dumped the first steep. So flash steep then the first true steep was 10c, didn't taste like much. Needs longer steeps to get flavor out of it. So I suggest maybe doing 20-30seconds for first steep. Next steep, dun na nagka lasa.

Third and fourth steeps reminds me of a mild black tea and hints of oolong. Like 70% black tea and 30% carbon / charcoal oolong

​

Fifth and a sixth steeps more of the carbon oolong taste and way less black tea flavor. Milder and milder siya.

​

Paubos na lasa. Probably can still get a 7th and 8th with a much longer steep. Pang bukas na Yan. Lol.

​

Then try ko na Yung new dongding ko.

Flash steep then dumped first steep

95c water

10seconds first steep na iniinom

​

Lasang 80% dark chocolate na diluted

Mildly sweet, chocolatey, very very mild woody taste

​

Second steep, lasang black tea nalang

​

Lol
