Old Chen is still appraising the tea.
After the fragrance assessment, when the stopwatch on the phone hits two minutes, Old Chen pours the tea that has been steeping in hot water for two minutes into a white ceramic tea bowl to begin the second step of tea appraisal.
The oolong tea made by Ansheng has leaves that appear green when not brewed, and after the first steeping, the color is more orange-red, with a few tea particles floating gently at the bottom of the cup, overall clear and bright without any cloudiness.
"........"
Seeing the color of the tea, Old Chen's eyes revealed a slight hint of peculiarity. He poured himself a cup to taste the tea and filled the gaiwan with hot water for a longer second steep.
The orange-red tea hits the mouth, still with a strong floral aroma immediately rushing up the nostrils, even before it enters the mouth, seeming as if you can already taste its tea flavor.
