Today’s Tea: Formosa Honey Oolong Gui Fei

Brewed 7g in ~180ml for 60 sec @ 95 degrees. Following infusions will be shorter.

It has a higher oxidation of around 75%. Tea looks quite dark after 1 min. It promised a sweet honey flavor introduced by gras hoppers biting the leaf and therefor stopping growth of leaf and intensifying sweet honey flavors.

Todays Tea: Formosa Amber Oolong

1. Infusions 6.5g in ~160ml @ 95° C for 50 sec. It's always nice to watch how the leaves are expanding during infusion. Following infusions a little bit shorter.

Hard to describe. But I really like this on. There is a lot going on. I was promised many infusions from those leaves. Lets see...

Today’s Tea: Fujian Mao Feng

Dry leaves have some weird but nice smell to it. Maybe pineapple?

Brewed 3.5 g in 200ml for 30 sec @ 70 degrees. Very soft taste. Second infusion should be a little bit longer.. [a few moments later] Second Infusion showed some nice fresh and fruity notes. I guess next time I would go with even more leaves..

I have another question: I find different statements about caffeine levels in teas. Is there a general rule? How does the second/third brew effect caffein levels of my cup of tea?
