I ♥ NewYorkCiTEA drank Wuyi Oolong by Rishi Tea

545 tasting notes

The July TeaLog Catchup ! (Last one!)

So it’s been a long time since I’ve had this Wuyi oolong. I can’t quite remember why I picked to have it that day now. Part of it was that it sounded soothing though. But I did remember that I had tried reducing the steeping times with success last time. So I looked up my tealog for it. Indeed, I had. It looks like a bit more reduction might be warranted for my tastes still. So I tried that this time with very good results. 4 very enjoyable steeps were consumed.

2nd steep: 3mins 45 secs, 190 F.
3rd steep: 4 mins, 195 F.
4th steep: approx 8 mins, 200 F.

Preparation

190 °F / 87 °C 3 min, 30 sec

Bio

I’m 33 years old, studying pharmacy, and have a surly cat named Bin. I love tea, coffee, beer, wine, and most things food and beverage related. I also love music, movies, reading, writing, and learning new things.

I’ve drank tea all my life but about five to six years ago, my close friend Spautz got into tea and got me more into tea. I drink black teas and tisanes/herbals most. Since receiving a variable temperature kettle from my parents for Xmas this past year, I’ve been drinking more greens, oolongs, and whites. I’m very very new to puerh. That is, I’ve had only one.
