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 21 grams of Tie Kwan Yin oolong from Taiwan, 10 cups of water, 1 1/2 cups of starter buch and a cup of sugar.

We harvested this batch on 2/3 and added 1 tbsp of sugar for a second fermentation of nine days in bottles #61-65

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 21 grams of Tie Kwan Yin oolong from Taiwan, 10 cups of water, 1 1/2 cups of starter buch and a cup of sugar.

We harvested this on 1/27, a couple of days late. It has a lot of SCOBY in it so it was strong. We’re thinking of replacing our Darjeeling SCOBY with our Oolong SCOBY. We flavored it with 1/4 cup of concord grape juice and a tbsp of sugar in bottles #41-45. We’ll move it on February 1.
