I brew it at at about 90 to 95 so maybe 1 or 2 little small bubbles have come up but no rolling boils for 1 minute and then 20 seconds the second time. Its quite a milky sort of tea and I found it really various depending on what time of the year you buy it. I think my last batch during the winter was better then this one during spring. -Which is odd- Serenity teahouse also does a nice four teas but for the life of me I cannot appreciate the blue oolong they do. The really high quality one.

I find it an enjoyable flavour in moderation though!Veri-Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240932063144037031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814254397677395565.post-84692270516133842102010-01-13T11:17:14.356+11:002010-01-13T11:17:14.356+11:00Verity,

If you brew " Mountain teas" from Taiwan, the taste will be different, maybe the way of toasting or processing is different. Just keep trying.<br /><br />BTW, I don't know who " MarvinRSottile" is, is the comments written in Chinese? If yes, I do suggest you delete them, something is wrong with that comment!My lucky palhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03958787483084447981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814254397677395565.post-53177672830220525182010-01-09T17:18:04.514+11:002010-01-09T17:18:04.514+11:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814254397677395565.post-30575645918762849102010-01-09T11:38:40.848+11:002010-01-09T11:38:40.848+11:00Hi Marlena - you are probably right about trying t...Hi Marlena - you are probably right about trying them side by side being a better way to learn about the differences between oolongs. That's next on my tasting schedule!<br /><br />Eric, I thought that was you ;) That's a good idea about the cooler water for greener oolongs - I'll try that next time. I didn't try the pouchong - but I'll look out for it next time I'm there!Veri-Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240932063144037031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814254397677395565.post-49381533947755559982010-01-07T11:26:17.410+11:002010-01-07T11:26:17.410+11:00That last comment was from me, by the way:)That last comment was from me, by the way:)Eric Daamshttp://teafinelybrewed.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814254397677395565.post-61330054174352383432010-01-07T11:25:39.935+11:002010-01-07T11:25:39.935+11:00Great to hear you got to check out Serenity.

I think it's a lighter oolong, so less oxidized and more like a green tea. With those ones I tend to steep them in water that's less hot. <br /><br />Did you get their pouchong? That was my first pouchong, and I absolutely love it. The aroma is incredible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814254397677395565.post-62621089149955668892010-01-07T07:42:33.682+11:002010-01-07T07:42:33.682+11:00Thanks for the review.
