Brewing Oolong Tea

While there are some variations in the brewing methods for individual varieties of Oolong Teas, those variations are nowhere near as large as they are for green tea. The basic brewing method for Oolong tea is given below.

Champagne of Teas: Darjeeling

Quick: close your eyes, and picture the first thing you think of when I say "Indian tea."

Two guesses on what you see: sultry spiced chai tea or dark amber black tea, taken with milk and English biscuits.

These are both great things, and we make our fair share of them, but I don't think they're the most interesting tea to come out of India. For a brew that's at once delicate, assertive, and totally unique, you have to go with Darjeeling Tea.
