Next up, a different type: Oolong. Oolong teas are neither strictly green nor black - they're partially oxidised compared to greens which aren't oxidised at all, and blacks which are fully oxidised. The percent oxidation varies by oolong, giving them different flavours in the end. I'm not sure about the oxidation of this one, because it just says oolong on the website. Which to be fair, is a good enough description for people who aren't connoisseurs - it'd be fun to know, because then you could do a comparison with different oxidation levels, but honestly I'm probably not going to be drinking that much straight oolong when I could be having flavoured blends, so...

I did attempt to hot brew this one using my shark infuser for the first time, which... I don't think I did it for long enough. I'm dicing with water temperatures of 'whatever temperature the water in the hot water thermos is right now,' and I wasn't timing it properly yet because first attempt, so... might have been weaker than it should be. One scoop of a perfect teaspoon to a standard mug of tea.
