About Chinese Oolong Tea
Hi, I'm Nelson Drago with Chado Tea Room in Los Angeles on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip we will be talking about Oolong from China which is called Pu-erh. Yes that's right it's called Pu-erh and it's knowing for its medicine properties in China. This is how it looks; it's mostly used for indigestion and diarrhea, it brews a very mellow yellow cup with a very earthy flavor. Mainly Pu-erhs are also called the compressed teas. It also comes in tea cakes and breads in a bird nest form, this is the birds nest form and it's compressed. The older the Pu-erh the better and the healthier. This is the birds nest form and this a tea brick also which is made out of Pu-erhs. A lot of people also use it to worm on it or if you want to drink it you just break it and again steep it for 3 minutes in about 190 degrees of water.
