Mei Zhan (梅占, "Wild Plum") is a Chinese oolong from the vicinity of the Wu Mountains in the north of Fujian Province.
The taste and aroma of Wishan oolongs depend on many parameters, but two main ones can be distinguished: raw materials and heating. Raw materials determine the potential of tea. For example, if the bushes grow in a good place, get the right amount of sun, fog, and moisture, and the soil under the bushes is rich in necessary substances, then you can make an outstanding tea with an unforgettable taste from the leaves of such bushes. Warming up determines the final result. Tea can be spoiled if it is overheated or, conversely, underheate. But when all the technical subtleties are observed, it turns out perfectly balanced in taste and aroma... Mei Zhan.
Degree of warming up: Jun Ho, medium.
Aroma: bright, rich, and complex. Sweet fruits, flowers, and chocolate, caramel are felt in the aroma of the warmed leaf.
Taste: pure and strong, enveloping and soft, but at the same time delicate. Voluminous, sweet and fruity, with baked notes. Smoothly turns into a long, refreshing, sweet aftertaste.
Impact: leveling, relaxing-meditative, collecting.
Traditional Preparation
Add 7-10 grams to a Gaiwan or Gongfu Teapot (150ml-200ml).
Use 212°F boiling water.
Briefly rinse the leaves. Decant and discard this infusion.
Infuse the first brew for 1 second.
Infuse 2nd and subsequent brews for 5-15 seconds.
Repeat several times until the flavor and aroma of the tea dissipates. As the brewing session ensues, increase infusion time to coax out the body and strength of the final infusions.
