Episode #20 - Aura Formosa Osmanthus Oolong
STeaP revisited Aura Teas for our 20th episode this week with an Formosa Mingjian Osmanthus Guihua Oolong. This was prepared with a very short, specific steep time, like all Aura Teas, and it is an incredibly complex oolong that continued to evolve as we made our way to the bottom of the cup.
Don’t forget that Aura Teas has a promo through the end of March, so if you’d like to try this delicious oolong, now would be the time to order it at 10% off, with the “spring” coupon code! We hope you’ll enjoy our 20th episode, and be sure to visit STeaPtv.com for all of our tea-related tidbits.
Great episode. =)
Did you guys try a second/third/whatever brewing from those leaves? I love rolled-up oolong teas, but I personally tend to like the later brewings even more than the first one, but that’s just me…

I was lucky enough to keep it around after the filming. The second steep was very smooth and almost more flavorful, but not as “shifting” as this one was. It stayed consistent. Then it slowly mellowed out after that to about four steeps, and I could tell it wouldn’t hold up to many more after that.
