Oolong is a traditional Chinese tea produced through a unique process including withering the plant under the strong sun and oxidation before curling and twisting. For this batch we brought 6 cups of water to 185 degrees, added 35 grams of tea and steeped for 5 minutes covered, stirring midway through. We then added a cup of sugar to a gallon jar and strained the tea into it, dissolving the sugar. We added enough water to leave room for 1 1/2 cups starter tea and the SCOBY.
We harvested this batch on 9/3. It is our first Oolong made the Master Lee way. It tasted strong but good and a little sweet. we added a heaping 1/2 tbsp. We may reduce the amount of tea used to 28 grams depending on how this batch turns out.
