How To Make Keelen Oolong Tea?
The proper teaware for brewing Keelen tea is Gai Wan or Purple Clay (Zisha) Teapot. The guide is as same as Dahongpao.
Step 1. Preheat the Gai Wan or Zisha Teapot with boiled water. Wash the teaware inside and outside, and must be heated thoroughly.
Step 2. Scoop 1 teaspoon of Keelen tea leaves (about 4g) and put them into the teaware.
Step 3. Pour boiled water(Temperature is about 100℃) into the teaware. Kindly notice that water with low temperature can not activate the tea leaves.
Step 4. Pour out the 1st steep and add hot water again. The ratio between tea leaves and water is about 1:20~30.
Step 5. Steep for about 10~15 seconds then serve.
Notice:
1. Use boiled water since the Keelen tea is semi-fermented as same as Dahongpao. When the water cools down, can use boiled water again to activate the tea leaves.
2. Steeping time can be added about 5 seconds from the 4th steep. The whole brewing process can reach to max. 5 times.
3. When filling the pot, the water should be slightly higher than the teaware surface, and then scrape off the foam from the water surface.
