Stash Tea
Type: Oolong
Origin: Taiwan
Product Description: Brandy Oolong gets its name from the beautiful brandy-colored liquor it produces. Compared to other oolong teas, Brandy Oolong is more oxidized, resulting in a smooth, complex cup. Lovely, lingering flavors of plums, figs and molasses are evident with each sip. In Taiwan, this tea is often served cold in a champagne glass for sophisticated sipping. Brandy Oolong is great for multiple infusions.
Temperature: 180° F, 195° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 3 minutes
The dry leaf aroma is malty and sweet with notes of walnuts.
The orange amber infusion has a rich aroma of dark bread and baked fruit. The taste is dark and rich with notes of molasses and an apricot-like finish.
This oolong is very agreeable to experimentation with time and temperature. Steeping at 195° F resulted in a dark, rich, and delicious flavor. While the flavor and aroma mellow significantly by the third infusion, it was still quite enjoyable. Steeping at 180° F produced a super rich and roasty bordeline buttery aroma with a sweet, rich, almost buttery taste and a lingering sweetness in the finish.
