You're right: green teas are pretty easy to destroy as well - but I'm not a fan of green teas, so I don't have a very developed palette for those. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the tea I'm drinking. It's at my desk at work, but I bought it from a tea shop, so it's not pre-packaged. I have the name written somewhere at home, though. When you steep some Oolongs incorrectly, the taste you get isn't as much bitter, as a (chinese word) sow taste. I don't know if that's a very good explanation, but I'm more accustom to drinking than explaining! This particular Oolong steeps for 24 seconds on a first steep (after wen ren shuan), and 22-23 on the second at calmed boiling. I'm excited about this tea discussion.
