Every month if you register with Ohio Tea Company, you can get a free 1/2 oz tea free every month. I got the Watermelon Oolong and I have to say that I love it cold brewed!!! I love Oolong. It is my favorite kind of tea, it is really smooth.
I am a big fan of cold brew, especially in the summer. Have you made cold brew before? It's super easy and super quick to make. And you can keep adding water to your cup, since it is not steeped in hot water you don't release the tannins and the tea is not bitter and you can brew it several times before it looses the flavor.
Use about 1tsp per 8 oz, I add ice cubes to water and the glass is ready to drink in a few minutes.
1oz per gallon of water. Add loose tea to cold water in a jar and let steep for a few hours in the refrigerator.
This is a great tea. Very refreshing and perfect for summer. Watermelon tea may sound odd, but you need to try it. See how great and refreshing it is!
From the website,
"Oolong (sometimes pronounced 'wulóng') is a traditional Chinese tea ranging from 10% to 70% oxidation -- between green and black tea.
In Chinese tea culture, semi-oxidized oolong teas are collectively grouped as qingcha, literally: blue-green tea. It has a taste more akin to green tea than to black tea: it lacks the rosy, sweet aroma of black tea but it does not have the stridently grassy vegetal notes that typify green tea.
The best Oolong has a nuanced flavor profile. Oolong tea leaves are often processed and rolled into long curly leaves or into ball-like form similar to gunpowder tea. It is commonly served in Chinese restaurants, to accompany dim sum and other Chinese food."
I love this tea shop in Canton. They do a great job of sourcing the best loose leaf tea.
