      Hi All,

      I am looking for a detail method on how mature Teahong’s phoenix classic and traditional style oolongs.  I have noticed that my Song Cultivar and Honey Orchid 2013 are excellent teas but they are not as soft and round as the 2011’s.  
      I am planing to mature the 2013 teas in the same packages that I received from TeaHong and in room temperature.  Since each package has about 40 grams of tea, do I need to find a bigger container and keep about 200g – 500g all together?  Also, what is the suggested way to check the maturity process of the teas (every 3-6 months or every year)?
      Thanks

      It is better to mature Phoenix oolongs in slightly larger batches. 250 / 500 g per pack is good. It is better not to disturb the tea during maturation. Checking once about 4 months is ok for Phoenix, but better yet in a year. Make sure your container is light and air tight, and put the tea in a place away from the elements. Make sure also that your skin do not touch the leaves when you put them into the container. We are about to roll out new pack formats of larger sizes, but maybe not soon enough for you.
