Oolong RP: /uːlɒŋ/, GA: /ulɑŋ/ (simplified Chinese: 乌龙; traditional Chinese: 烏龍;pinyin: wūlóng) is a traditional Chinese tea (Camellia sinensis) produced through a unique process including withering the plant under the strong sun and oxidation before curling and twisting. For this batch we used 10 1/2 cups of water, 21 grams of Oolong loose leaf tea, 1 cup of sugar and 1 1/4 cup of starter buch.
We harvested this on 8/13 and flavored it with 1/2 tbsp of sugar. It tasted a little sweet. I’m looking forward to increasing the amount of tea next time. Still experimenting with how much sugar to add for second fermentations.

Darjeeling tea is a tea from the Darjeeling district in West Bengal, India. For this batch we used 10 1/2 cups water, 14 grams of Second Flush Darjeeling tea, 1 cup sugar and 1 1/4 cup starter buch.
We harvested this on 8/13 and flavored it with 1 tbsp of sugar. We went back to this after the last batch where 1/2 tbsp ended up barely sweet enough.

We harvested this on 8/7 and flavored it with 1/2 tbsp of sugar. It had about an inch of SCOBY and tasted a little sweet (just right).

We harvested this on 8/7 and flavored it with 1/4 cup of Mango Passion Fruit juice (Santa Cruz) and 1/2 tbsp of sugar. It had about an inch of SCOBY and tasted just right… “a little bit of fizz, a little bit of vinegar and a little bit of sweetness” -Babs

For this batch we used 10 1/2 cups of water, 21 grams of Oolong loose leaf tea, 1 cup of sugar and 1 1/4 cup of starter buch.
We harvested this on 7/30. We are trying to reduce our sugar content so for this batch we tried 1/2 tbsp of sugar.
Oops, I moved this into the fridge too early and screwed up our experiment.
