Taiwanese oolong tea
This tea is produced in Song Bai Lin in Taiwan and valuable Don Pian (冬片) leaves are used; the leaves can be only picked in small amounts in winter. Furthermore, it is carefully produced, using Longan charcoal, which takes a lot of time and has a high cost. The special sweetness that no other Si Ji Chun has comes from Longan charcoal and it takes the bitterness out of the tea.

STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan or teapot, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Rinse. Put the tea leaves in your vessel, pour hot water over them and then discard the water quickly. This step is for "waking the leaves" a little bit.
STEP 3) Brew. Pour boiling water on your rinsed tea leaves and brew for 30 seconds.
STEP 4) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 5) Brew again.
❖ After the first few infusions, you can increase the steeping time (to about 35-40 seconds).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from cooking.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.

Good, balanced tea. It surprised me how sweet this tea actually is. The oolong greenish flavours are still present but the sweet and toasted aromas attenuate them a bit. Overall balanced but could be slightly more aromatic/complex. My brew was paler but this could have been caused by a narrow teapot (less extraction). First tried it with a couple of friends and it was well received. If you prefer your teas on the "stronger" side, try brewing it longer. I could get it from smooth to slightly astringent.
