Gong Fu Cha - Phoenix tea in Chao Zhou, Guangdong Province

Mr. Liu is preparing some Phoenix oolong in a gaiwan while talking to us. First he rinses the leaf, then pours the first infusion into a sharing pitcher.

It's very noisy in the background because the streets are mobbed - the Olympic team is passing the torch here on this crazy day. It's May 2008. Around the corner it's a sea of people waving flags and celebrating.

I love watching him make tea. He's so smoothe yet appears to not even be trying!

he is saying that the particular spring harvest oolong (i m guessing from the color of the tea) that he is brewing taste its best during the chinese mid autumn festival (aug/sept in the gregorian calendar).

my experience is most oolongs do taste better after being in contact with air for a couple of months, esp if it came in a vacuum sealed bag.
