Cold Tea for Hot Summer Days Part II

Homemade ice teaSuccess!!

The Jin Hsuen came out very nice - less astringent than light-roasted oolong normally is, but very refreshing. It wasn’t as cold as it should have been because I wasn’t able to keep in a cooler, but I’m planning to experiment with a few other teas and do a comparison test to see how they turn out. And yes, this is a different bottle from the ‘Part I’ post - I poured the tea off into this bottle so it wouldn’t be steeping in the tea leaves all day (more on that later).

As you can see from the picture, the tea has a light yellowish-green color. I had a bit less tea than I should have used, and A-Liang gave me some guidelines of his to use in the future. I’ll add his suggestions in a future post after translating them.
