General information
"Thailand Oolong tea from old tea trees" was picked and made in the north of the Kingdom of Thailand in autumn 2020. It was made using the originally Taiwanese chin-hsin cultivar (TRES #17) which was one of the earliest to be imported to Thailand from Taiwan.
Brewing method
After a quick rinse, brew tea with hot near-boiling water (98°C) in a porcelain gaiwan or a teapot of porous clay. The proportion is 4-5 g per 100 ml. The time for the first infusion is about 3-5 seconds. After that do short flash-steeps, increasing brewing time for each subsequent attempt - to taste. You can repeat this up to 10 times or as long as the tea provides flavour and aroma.
