Taiwan Honey Aroma Oolong Tea



Our best supporters, Mr and Mrs Tsai (my parents-in-law:D) just visited us, and brought beautiful tea sets and teas from Taiwan.






One of them that I want to introduce is Taiwan Honey Aroma Oolong Tea.
This tea is from a Taiwan tea master company, Qi Cai Song, which won many prizes with its craftsmanship in tea.







This is before you brew them. Each tea leaves are nicely rolled.







Steeping for 50 seconds at first. 
Very fragrant and smooth.


Starting from 50 seconds, it is better to extend brewing time around 10 to 20 seconds each time, rather than steeping its tea leaves in hot water for 2-3 minutes like many teas.  It can be brewed 8 times maximum.



I like the second and third time the most.
It is still smooth, and deep floral aroma spreads entire through throat to nose.
I could also taste little bit of honey like aftertaste.  







More you steep, it get lighter and it get slightly tarter, but still very enjoyable.









 After 8 times, the tea leaves should be look like this. 
You can see individual leaves that still have nice leaf shape.
It is still fragrant. Maybe I should steep one more, next time. 







 

This is after I dried the leaves.

There is a lot of way to re-use these tea leaves.
 I will post it next time about re-using.




We also upload one of the Honey Aroma Oolong Tea.
