Grape Ape

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, 14 grams of Second Flush Darjeeling loose leaf tea, 1 cup of sugar and 1 1/4 cup of starter buch.

This batch had only 3 SCOBYs in it. We’re experimenting with the amount of SCOBY so we’ll see how this comes out. We bottled it on 4/2 with 1/4 cup of grape juice and a tbsp of sugar.

For this batch we used 10 1/2 cups of water, 21 grams of Oolong loose leaf tea, 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of starter buch.

We harvested this batch on 3/26 and flavored it with 1 tbsp of sugar in bottles #1-4. We’ll let it do a 2nd fermentation of 9 days.
