Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Pairings: roasted almonds, peach crumble, grilled chicken salad.
Choicest Oolong (Wu-Long) is a flavorful alternative to the higher priced Fancy grades, with much of the complexity and cup character. The bold leaves, with some silvery tips, produce a liquor with notes of dark grapes and hints of peach.
