Tried a Tieguanyin “Emerald” style which, going by what I posted from the article above, is pretty much a poor choice. And it was! While it was “ok” fresh out of the pot (tiny bit of leftover), by the time I got to work it had all but lost it’s flavour. You could tell there was some tea there, but it wasn’t very noticeable.
That said, I’m actually not too good with oolongs – it’s a tea category I should experiment with more, as the “standard” infusion of 1g to 100ml in a ceramic pot for 5 minutes leaves much to be desired. I’m beginning to think the essence of oolongs is gongfu style infusions – especially the greener ones like Tieguanyin.
