Bei der letzten Teebestellung habe ich wieder mal den „Tee des Monats“ mitgenommen. Die Auswahl des Händlers ist nicht selten recht gut. Dieses Mal war es der Bio Xian You Honey Black. Ein stark oxidierter Oolong mit einem, wie ich finde, sehr sanften Charakter. Nicht so süß, wie ich erwartet hätte. Ich denke, das ist ein fantastischer Oolong-Einsteiger-Tee. Würde ich [..]

Drinking oolong this afternoon.

Love dancong oolong. So floral yet substantial. This one is Saturn peach aroma. Slightly fruity and nutty. I can see where it gets it's name.

🐷 THE PIG 🐷

This is my OOLONG ONLY teapot.

And I mean high-quality oolong only. Seasoning a teapot is critical.

So sollte jeder Tag beginnen. Mit einer Tasse edlen Tee (Tienguanyin, #Oolong) und #Rugby (Perth 7s, Spiel um Platz 3 der Männern).

🌱 Oolongy z pohoří Fénixe jsou taková kapitola sama pro sebe.

❗️Problém je najít kvalitní Dancong. Snad u žádného jiného čaje jsem nenarazil na tolik padělků, jako u oolongu z pohoří Fénixe. Při hledání rozhodně doporučuji ochutnat vzorek, zejména počkat na druhý nálev. Neb mnoho listů, vydávajících se za Dancong je uměle aromatizováno, kdy vás první nálev “vystřelí” z bot. Pak přijde druhý a chuť je rázem slabá, nebo úplně pryč…

I emailed white2tea about how to store their oolong that has been pressed into bricks. I've had a handful of sour teas over the last year or so, and I'm thinking about it a lot whenever I open an oolong. The white2tea oolong ofc doesn't come in a vacuum sealed bag. I realized after this exchange that I should probably drink this tea right away before opening or buying any more oolong.

Me: How do you store bricks of oolong?
Him: Personally, I would keep them the same way as raw Puer, but it depends on your storage/goals. If you like you could also keep them very dry and sealed to maintain more aroma, whereas I’d prefer to have them more smooth over time.
Me: Ok. You don't worry about this tea becoming sour?
Him: Most any question like that will depend greatly on a lot of factors like your goals/location/preferences. Aging tea can have a lot of out comes.

It's hardly morning anymore, but I'm still working my way through my morning dong ding. This is one of the house roasts from Floating Leaves Tea.

I drank a Japanese oolong needle tea from Obubu farm (Kyōto) a few weeks ago in Mūyo, a tea house in Helsinki 🍵

The aroma was like butter and honey with a discreet florality, and the taste had some edge and dryness but also sweetness, with a little bit of that butter and honey present again. Very comforting.
I think this was my first time drinking Japanese oolong, and it was quite different from the Taiwanese ones I'm used to. At first it was surprising, but I soon learned to love it.
It's always a pleasure to discover new teas and new tastes!

I also tasted their pine needle wakōcha from Obubu farm. It was soft and sweet, with a delicate pine needle freshness to it!

I'm happy I got to catch Panu Kannisto's photography exhibition 東京の静かな生活 / Hiljaiseloa Tokiossa on its last day! Really beautiful scenes of Tōkyō streets and nature. Inspiring and reflective. Thank you for sharing your art!

This evening’s #oolong #tea #leaves came from India’s Darjeeling region. The tea is delicious, and I’m sipping it from my favorite #editorial mug, which carries this admonition: “Remember to close all parentheses. We’re not paying to air condition the entire paragraph.”
