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 7/2.

We harvested this on 6/25 and flavored it with 1/4 cup grape juice and 1 tbsp sugar. It tasted a little flat. Vinegary but not fizzy. The Darjeeling SCOBY family doesn’t seem as happy as the Oolongs.

We harvested this on 6/18. It tasted a little weak but it had a good fizz. We flavored it with 1 tbsp of sugar and will let it ferment for an additional nine days in bottles before moving to the fridge.

We harvested this on 6/18. There wasn’t a lot of SCOBY and it didn’t seem to fizz much or taste strong. It didn’t help that I accidently added 1/2 cup of water. We flavored it with 1/4 cup of Orange Mango juice and 1 tbsp of sugar.
