Tea Class with Shiuwen | Techniques for Identifying Stale Tea Pt. 2

Oolong tea does not go bad, but it does go stale if stored improperly, or for a very long time.

In this episode, we taste the same Tie Guanyin oolong tea, one stored properly and one improperly. John and Shiuwen identify the staleness of tea through drinking.

 

To join the class and learn from these episodes, please place an order and leave a comment to let us know you'd like some stale tea to practice with. Otherwise, if you have a bag of tea you've left open for quite some time you can also practice these techniques and answer Shiuwen's guiding questions.
