I haven't done my goofy stacked split infusion brewing in a while so I dug up my steep and release tea brewer for it today to make some pretentious iced tea.

  • 8g Baozhong
  • Steep and decant 3 x 30 seconds, 1 x 60 seconds, 1 x 120 seconds
  • Cool with hyperchiller
  • Serve over ice

Results are very floral and quite sweet. No bitterness. Mild astringency, which doesn't bother me but which could probably be removed by shortening the last steep. The body is probably a little bit too light for serving over ice. So maybe use another gram or two of tea.

I wouldn't dare do that with what are those jade oolong from this spring's harvest? I will do a mids to great tea for a great price sencha or some mids red over ice. When it is the really good stuff I just brew and drink it steep by steep. Like my Nepali first flush only gets the small good pot and yunomi cup treatment to get all the fragrance from it. If I have some really high end Chinese or Japanese red I brew it the same way because I don't want to miss any fragrance. If I had the double cup set and associated equipment I'd be a big enough freak to break it out regularly.
