Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
This is considered a comforting drink in its native Taiwan, enjoyed in many restaurants and homes. Comprised mainly of twigs from a competition grade High Mountain oolong, it boasts a notable butterscotch aroma—the result of an extra firing process. Sweet flavors of caramel and wood finish with a note of apricot, and a pleasingly light mouthfeel.
