Ready for the cupping on three Oriental Beauty - almost can tell the difference from the dry leaf. Yet, what will be your choice? when considering the cost of each tea...Tea business is that much challenge and also fun in dealing. Easy to pick better tea...but not necessary will be the right tea for your market and your customers...
Be patient...3 grams, 150 ml of rolling boiled water, and set for 5 minutes....
It is time for the journey of finding the specialty note in cup and also in the wet leaf...apparently these are not from the summer crop...
Have one more closer shot....
Thanks to my tea friend, Mo accompanies me for this cupping from Northern California...Mo Sardella the one on the right looks promising. nice looking wet leaf...wish I could taste with you!
Thomas Shu Mo - actually the middle one has my attention...yet these 3 all fail to offer the Honey touch I am looking for...and the wet leaf of each just proves the answer to me. Oriental Beauty should have a precise remark on the season, and also on the fresh leaf that selected for the tea to be processed. These will be okay to be marketed as White Tip Oolongs, yet definitely not Oriental Beauty or PON FON CHA.
