Some tips for a perfect tasting of lemon Oolong tea:

To release all the tea's flavors, steeping time is crucial! Be sure to follow the description on the package carefully.
Use pure or filtered water, it should be neither too hard nor too soft.
The choice of teapot is also important: depending on its material, a teapot will reveal flavors differently. There are two types: "memory" teapots (made of clay), which retain the taste of the teas brewed in them, and "non-memory" teapots (made of cast iron, porcelain, or glass).
In summer, dare to enjoy it iced! Let your tea steep for 45 minutes in room temperature water to extract all the flavors.

How to prepare lemon Oolong tea?

For optimal tea tasting:

adjust the water temperature (80°C ideally);
respect the recommended steeping time (between 2 and 4 minutes depending on desired intensity);
measure your tea using a tea ball or non-chlorinated filter;
steep your tea with a cover: the aromas will be preserved.

How much lemon Oolong tea?
