Nope. The cup was probably 1/3 full after hydration, but of course the dry leaf was less full.

Do you mean Taiwan oolongs? Those are not green teas.

I meant Taiwanese pure green teas like Bi Luo Chun and Bi Liu from Hou De. I've actually increased the water temp for the green Taiwanese oolongs from 175 F to 195 F and sometimes 208F.
