I just had some Alishan oolong the other day after a long while i did not have any Taiwanese oolong, it is a good tea for spring.
I notice that James 1st and 2nd brews were somewhat quick, typically i thought this type of rolled oolong need a good 10’s + brew. I wonder if this is because too much puer brewing lately.
The astringency might be due to Denny “disturbed” the tea leave. That’s my theory and i am sticking to it.
Spring teas are showing up, hope you guys have a good tea year.
Thanks for the comment. In regards to my brewing, I suspect you might be onto something. I drink far more pu’erh than oolong and always have to recalibrate when going back to gaoshan especially.
