I’m glad I’m not the only one that loves looking at the wet leaves the different colors

same. If you haven't I reccommend trying Zhang Ping Shui Xian. it comes in little pillow shaped bricks and is a single type of oolong that through the making process, each leaf receives an uneven amount of oxidation. I liken it's look to early fall foliage in New England :)

I loved how the wet leaves looked! This is a really tasty budget buy. Loved your deep dive into the characteristics of each. As someone who enjoys florals this hit the spot for my recent black tea cravings 🍃

A short-lived 5-steep dancong in this case actually matches the red tea's short lifespan in number of steeps as well. I'm not a fan of blends, including other popular bitterleaf blends, but this one was a clear winner that was thoughtfully planned.

For sure about the red as well. Good point! This was my favorite in the lot of the blends from bitterleaf. This was the only one for me that REALLY felt like it was better than the sum of its parts if that makes sense.

I would LOVE a SUPER in depth video about every Oolong variety that you have info on. Maybe break out a whiteboard, even. The works. Specifically the difference in how each one is processed, info on each cultivar, just literally every little piece of information you can think of.

Or maybe a series! You guys definitely have more connections/information resources than the average helpless Googler. I've been really searching for oolong info!

That would be awesome! We did a video like that on teapot shapes but at a certain point it felt redundant. I’ll add it to the list and see if we can come up with a compelling way to frame it make it informative but also interesting. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I really loved how comprehensive this was. Between the teapot vs gaiwan tasting notes and the background on the Chinese characters. Def want more of these!

More tea review please

Sick content.

Hey, love the content. I'm really interested in the line on the bitterleaf page that says that this tea is good for grandpa/thermos brewing. I thermos brew on work days and would love to bring a tea with dancong fragrance to work but most dancongs will ovebrew that way. I don't suppose you've given grandpa brewing a go with this one?

I haven’t yet but I’ll be adding grandpa style and cold brew to future tea reviews as well. 🤓

You get your teas where?

This was one was from bitterleaf. I’ll drop the link below. We source our own tea but also drink a ton of tea from tea vendors as well. www.bitterleafteas.com/shop/tea/non-puer/sugary-pick-me-up-2023-shaihong-black-tea-x-wuye-dancong-oolong
