Re: What Oolong Are You Drinking

@StoneLadle Thank you for sharing your brewing technique.
I am horrible at describing mouthfeel and body. I just skip to the bottom line…does it taste good or not
Mouthfeel: sour/tart/dry
Body: light
It is basically a roasted Oolong with a tart mouthfeel. Not a profile I am looking for.
I was brewing 4gm of tea to 80ml water at boiling temperature. I will try your suggestion of increasing the amount of leaves.
However, I think by increasing the amount of leaves to water ratio, I will increase the thickness of “body” but the sourness will unfortunately be more pronounced.
This is my first experience with an aged Oolong but my suspicion from reading other people writing is that they may have some degree of sour/tartness to all of them. I hope that I'm wrong.
