2021 Shui Xian White tea from Wuyi Origin

  By ,

I finally did a Wuyi Origin order. After many recommendations, what got me to order was their new 2021 Shui Xian white tea. This is a fresh Shoumei grade experimental Shui Xian, that is typically for oolong but processed as white tea. Leaf and Steeping Method The leaves smell like copy paper, but once I got my nose really in there with a heated gaiwan, it smells like a powdery floral bouquet. Despite being experimental and shou mei, these leaves are spectacular with fuzzy buds. I had a hell of a time getting 1g of leaf per 20ml into this… Continue reading, hoot!

Oolong Owl’s Matcha Butter Mochi Recipe

  By ,

I really like Butter Mochi – it is an easy recipe that feeds a crowd. It is also a good dessert to feed guests who have wheat allergies. I have been sitting on a lot of matcha that I cannot possibly humanly consume before it goes bad, so I’ve been trying to think of ways to use it up. Cooking with matcha tends to use a lot. That said, I experimented by combining my favorite Butter Mochi Recipe and matcha, which came out as a killer combo of  deliciousness. The flavor is grassy matcha, buttery, and sweet. Still slightly warm, the texture… Continue reading, hoot!

  By

I made this salmon recipe at my recent mega summer tea and BBQ party. It was so delicious and I was so impressed with myself, I kept asking people if they tried the fish. YUMMM! I love cooking sous vide – it is the best kitchen appliance and I use mine a couple times a week. I personally own an Anova Culinary Sous Vide, however there are other options such as Sansaire Sous Vide, Nomiku, and Joule. I prefer sous vide cooking with dry lean meats, such as chicken and pork chops, as it makes it tender and juicy. However,… Continue reading, hoot!

Tea Infused Pears – Canning Recipe by Oolong Owl

  By ,

I’ve recently fallen in love with canning. My tea-hating husband and I love to cook and we get all frugal crazy sometimes, so venturing into home canning was inevitable. We’ve so far canned tomatoes, pizza sauce, spicy vegetable mix, dilly beans, nectarine conserve, nectarine vanilla maple jam, watermelon jelly, pomegranate jelly, salsa and pineapple. My local grocery store had some great looking pears for really cheap, so I purchased 9lbs for canning. I love canned fruit for on top of ice cream, yogurt or even cottage cheese. I was inspired by Coconut & Lime‘s recipe Tea Pear recipe, as well… Continue reading, hoot!
