Instructions
- [Delicious Way to Drink]
- [Choosing the Label] Craft brewers like 'Taihu Brewing' and 'Taiwan Head Brewers' release beers using various tea leaves (the '
- Solar Terms' series is famous).
- [Taste] Poured, the malt aroma rises alongside Oolong's unique 'roasted aroma' and 'gorgeous floral scent'.
- One sip reveals hop bitterness perfectly synced with the tea's pleasant astringency; the aftertaste is surprisingly clean, leaving a tea freshness in the mouth.
- Paired with slightly sweet Taiwanese meat dishes (Sanbei Ji or Lu Rou Fan), the tea tannins cleanly wash away the oil—the ultimate pairing.

Trivia

Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Never drink straight from the can; absolutely pour into a 'wine glass' or 'tulip glass' where the aroma opens, slowly tasting while enjoying the tea scent through the nose!
