Nice video. I'm from Malaysia too and I just bought a can of Dong Ding Oolong tea from Purple Cane. The taste is so refreshing and the sweet fragrant is long lasting in mouth. By the way, I see that you frequently heat up your yixing teapot. Is that really necessary? I learn that the Taiwanese do not pour hot water on the surface of the teapot because the yixing teapot itself can trap heat inside.

The ancient Chinese probably developed the "rebrewing" of tea culture because they were too poor to waste the tea leaves they had, that way they could still enjoy tea until no flavour could be extracted. I wouldn't waste my time rebrewing unless the first brew taste was too strong for me and I could get a better taste doing a second brew. People just get too meticulous with their hobbies, to each their own.
tea originally only grew in china, your assumptions are wrong, if u had tasted oolong tea, u will realize that the third brew is the best. and may i ask u what sort of tea leaves do u brew? good tea leaves are brewed the way i mention, regardless if it white, green, red, black, oolong etc.
if ur retarded or ignaorant, save yourself from commenting.
@mindflashbr "the ancient chinese....they were too poor...."
No, ancient China was not poor. During the Han and Tang dynasties, China was arguably the largest economy in the world and the most prosperous. Modern China, however, is poor.
@mindflashbr Agree with you man, some people act mad nice, everyone gives them respect for no reason. The second you say anything that's not praise, they get defensive and start talking in ways they never would in real life.
Very good demonstration. :) What's the difference between that pot you've got there and a "yixing" pot? Also, is there a good place to order a high quality clay pot like that? I live in America and it'd difficult to find good Chinese tea ware here.
Thank you very much for the video. I had no idea I should re brew tea, so in essence, nothing goes to waste from the oolong. Again Thank you, now I can enjoy my oolong(I have just recently left my mistress coffee)
hi there cud pls someone tell me can i make the second brew 4 hours after the first brew and if it is possible how to keep the wet leaves till i make the second brew and also i tried one time but after 4 hours i noticed some very dark liquid colored the walls of the tea where i kept the wet leaves something like ink is this normal pls i hope someone is going to answer me tx
Nice video - The slurping instructions should perhaps be amended a bit though. It's ok to slurp a bit with the first cup of Oolong but it's best not to keep doing it. Partly this is a point of etiquette, and partly because if you wish to better appreciate the Qi of a tea, it is best to remain quiet. This slurping process is designed to enhance the flavor of a tea though it deadens the energy of the tea considerably.
This is more the way you taste a tea when you are evaluating it for purchase.
Hmmm i dont think its a good idea to stick my finger into water! I actualy working in tea shop ..... & we was using thermometer before ... its not always comfortable :(
thermometer for beginners, but i can generally tell the temperature by how long i leave it to cool after boiling, touching the vessel, and if i feel that the water has cooled too much, i let the tea steep a lil longer, a matter of adjustment =]
The top grade Tie Guan Yin tea has a golden color, not the dark or black color from tea bag. The taste and fragant I can't describe, you got to try it.
The Tie Guan Yin is one of the Wuloon tea, is very famous and popular for southern china, and people of Taiwan, and many SE asian countries. This tea has few grades, the top grade are very expensive, and more expensive than your top coffee means. There are other type of chinese teas that are much more expensive than Tie Guaan Yin. That is why these steps are needed to bring out the best of is favors.
The nice tea whether is chinese tea or indian tea is never from tea bag. It is very hard to explain to people what so nice about these tea and why these steps, unless you tasted it before.
nctrls2 u are so idiot....sorry! u don't understand a thing about the culture and the meaning of this ritual. I'm japanese...before saying something supid like that, you should study more about it...
Certainly, after saw lot of making tea videos, it this one of my Favourite and the Best in it Genre! Your doing very well with a good intention! My 5 stars!
love this video, thanks. gung fu is amazing. oolong is by far the best tea (for me); I also like chinese and japanese green teas. do you suggest using the candle warming pot even if I have an electric kettle?

FU#king Dumb, just go to the shop and buy your bloody pockets of tea bags easy as that, don't need to make f###king tea more complicated, A tea bag + hot water in a mug and there you go,
HI, do you know what measurments in ml your tea cups are, because i've just bought some chinese tea cups that are 120ml, and I was wondering if that was a little big? Also, will a gaiwan be appropriate for making Puerh and Oolong?
Wow I love all kinds of tea so I would love to try some oolong. I've seen some other Chinese tea which involves a flower sitting in a clear glass and after time unfolding in the hot water.
Is it me or does that little pot have unlimited water LOL
