Master the Art of Brewing Grainy Oolong Tea for an Unforgettable Aroma🍵

How to make oolong tea taste good when brewing? 🍵

Hey there, tea lovers! Today, let's dive into the secrets of brewing grainy oolong teas like Tieguanyin, Baiya Qilan, and Dongding Oolong to perfection. 🌿💧

🍂 Choice of Utensils:
First up, the right utensils make all the difference. Grainy oolong teas are known for their high aroma and rich flavor, so opt for a taller, smaller Gaiwan and a taller tasting cup to enhance the aroma and flavor release.

🌡️ Warming the Utensils:
Warming your Gaiwan with boiling water is crucial. After pouring in the tea leaves, gently shake the Gaiwan to stimulate the tea's aroma and ensure the tea particles are evenly distributed.

♨️ Water Temperature:
For brewing oolong tea, the water temperature should be at boiling point, 100 degrees Celsius. The tea-to-water ratio should be between 1:15 to 1:20.

🌀 Brewing Techniques:

• First infusion: Pour water in a circular motion from a height to create a 3D rotation, speeding up the tea's uncurling and then quickly drain.
• Second infusion: Pour water in a circular motion from two o'clock, cover the Gaiwan, and let it steep briefly to allow the tea leaves to fully expand.
• From the third infusion onwards: Pour water from the three o'clock position, gently rotate, and then drip water directly to stimulate the aroma and flavor from the unopened tea leaves.

🌊 Subsequent Infusions:
Starting from the fifth and sixth infusions, don't fill the Gaiwan too full. Keep the water level at the waistline of the Gaiwan, use a thin stream of water, and extend the steeping time to make the tea more mellow.

🌟 Lasting Aroma:
Following these steps, even after seven or eight infusions, your oolong tea will still have a lingering fragrance.

Have you got the hang of it? Give it a try and fill your space with the rich aroma of oolong tea!
