Ya-Ya’s Tea-Board

News from the Teahouse, about tea and more

Tea-Evening “Oolong - The Black Dragon” (with tea-tasting) 7:30 p.m., Tues. 13th Feb.

Teaboard with YiXing pot and cupsOolong refers to a semi-oxidized type of tea - somewhere between a green and a black tea. Although very popular in many parts of Asia, it is still fairly unknown to western tea drinkers.
Most oolongs are fairly light teas with a sweet aftertaste. Traditionally they are prepared as Kung Fu cha.
The tea talk will include topics about Oolong’s history, production etc… and you’ll have the opportunity to taste and experience the different flavours Oolongs can produce. We’ll also teach you the Kung Fu style cha ritual so you can perform your own tea ceremonies at home.

Teas at this tasting will be:

    Wuyi Mountain Oolong
    Ever-Spring Oolong
    Jin Xuan Oolong
    GABA Tea
