You're The Oolong Explorer!

You want range. Oolong runs from barely oxidized, orchid-scented Taiwanese high-mountain tea to charcoal-roasted Wuyi rock tea, and one dose of rolled leaf in a gaiwan gives six or more steeps that each taste different. You brew in short rounds and pay attention to the changes.
