1:00 the sound of me leaving this guy behind

[cirquedude123]

I wouldn't listen to this... For one I wouldn't brew my my oolong any hotter than 195f. and 5 minutes for a brew? try about 3 min. And it didn't even sound like he knew anything about re-steeping... Here are my personal instructions... go to Teavana pick yourself up a Washi tin of Monkey Picked Oolong steep for 3 minutes at 195f for the first brew and about 2 minutes for the second and any thing after the third brew should steep for about 5 minutes. enjoy! haha

You never order tea. You have to buy in person and know what you are getting. That is a buyer beware for sure.

The temperature and time vary on oolong teas because oolong teas form a spectrum of processing techniques.

However, this guy doesn't even say how much water to use or cover re-steeping.

How come expert village always does such a bad job?

Green tea is heat-cured using a variety of methods, temperatures and durations to produce different flavor variations.

White tea is simply picked, washed and dried. White tea is the least processed of all the teas, and therefore is highest in antioxidant, while it is lowest in caffeine.

Oolong tea usually made from the darker, richer leaves, and is partially fermented before curing.

Black tea also comes from the same plant, but is fermented, giving it a much darker color and stronger flavor.
