How to Brew Oolong Tea

This week we are gearing up for Christmas with a couple of new tea tasting gift boxes for you and any aspiring Teaheads PLUS I give you a little advanced brewing method called DIP BREWING.

After being asked so many times, we have released a fresh MEI LEAF TEA TASTING SELECTION box containing a wide range of Mei Leaf Brews. This is a great way to save money and taste a big selection of our teas. It makes a great gift to introduce friends to the expansive world of true tea. The gift box contains 16 sessions of eight different teas covering most tea types - and, as you would expect, they are all top drawer brews.

Our second tea tasting experience is the TEA GENRES TASTING BOX. This has been created to help educate the palate in some classic tea styles through head-to-head comparative tastings. Japanese vs Chinese Green tea, Raw vs Ripe PuErh and Ball Rolled vs Strip Oolong. We are continuously being asked to explain the differences between these genres of tea and the best way to answer is through direct comparison.

The TEA GENRES TASTING BOX is a great way to familiarise yourself with 6 different styles of tea in one box and level-up your palate through comparative tastings. It is a winning gift for anyone that wants to dive into the nuances of tea.

In this week's video, I break into one of these experiences by tasting a Ball Rolled Oolong vs a Wuyi Strip Oolong. But, my main focus in this video is to discuss non-linear brewing and introduce you to DIP BREWING - a great way to achieve extended sessions with balanced aromatics through every infusion.
