Sara, I share what you feel. I have been a devoted Taiwan oolong drinker for many years (I won’t say how many) but experiencing this Fenghuang Milan Xiang has completely elevated my understanding of oolong. One thing that I maybe different with you: I will not just stay with this, I will explore more varieties in Leo’s teashop.
Seems good writing like these are like tea: you really need to spend a little time in it to discover its wonder

That has been a lot of reading, but I had no idea that there are so many things that I misunderstood and did not know, and the best part was that it was so interesting to read after I determined to read the first article.
Please recommend a good oolong, but not strong like Chiu Chow Tit Koon Yam. I like a bit of bitterness but not too much. I also like good smelling but not like flowers.
You hold the diameter at rim of the gaiwan between the thumb and the middle finger (your tall man) and press the lid with your index finger. With a bit of practice it’s not difficult at all. The problem is finding a good gaiwan.
