500 g Oolong Tea Base Sample-to-Reorder Workflow
Use a 500 g oolong tea-base sample as a controlled mini launch: reserve tea for brew calibration, menu demos, buyer tasting, repeat validation and reorder planning instead of spending the whole sample on unfocused tests.
Why a 500 g sample needs a plan
Small beverage shops and distributors often waste samples because they test too many variables at once. FEISHUIJI recommends treating the first 500 g as a mini launch kit: one base, defined brew standard, two or three finished drinks, photographed results, buyer comments and a clear reorder question.
Sample allocation map
| Use | Dry tea allocation | Purpose | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brew calibration | 60 g | Confirm aroma, body, extraction time and concentration. | One brew sheet with grams, water, temperature, time and yield. |
| Two core drink demos | 160 g | Make repeatable milk tea, fruit tea, lemon tea, cold brew or tea coffee. | Two finished formulas with cup photos and staff notes. |
| Buyer tasting | 120 g | Serve decision-makers or store staff without changing the formula. | Scores for aroma, body, sweetness, difficulty and menu fit. |
| Repeat validation | 100 g | Repeat the best drink on another day to confirm consistency. | Second brew record and revised recipe. |
| Reserve | 60 g | Answer one follow-up question or make a final comparison cup. | Commercial inquiry with product, volume, packaging and document needs. |
Two sample routes
| Buyer type | Recommended starting bases | First drinks to show | Decision question |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small beverage shop | TG-02 Rich-Aroma Tieguanyin or TG-04 Charcoal-Roasted Tieguanyin | Classic milk tea, roasted oolong milk tea, oat oolong latte. | Can this base create one sellable signature drink next month? |
| Distributor | TG-01 Light-Aroma Tieguanyin, TG-04 and BQ-01 Baiya Qilan | Cold brew, roasted milk tea, peach or sparkling oolong refresher. | Can this range help customers understand three application roles? |
| Cafe adding tea | TG-04 plus TG-01 | Roasted oolong latte, oolong coffee tonic, cold brew Tieguanyin. | Can tea extend the menu without confusing coffee customers? |
| Private-label buyer | BQ-01 plus one consumer flavored tea reference | High-aroma oolong drink and flavored tea-bag tasting. | Which packaging and label route should be quoted first? |
Seven-day sample workflow
- Day 1 - set the target: choose one customer type and two drink families. Do not test every idea at once.
- Day 2 - brew calibration: weigh dry tea, water, temperature, extraction time, filtered yield and aroma notes.
- Day 3 - build two drinks: create one commercial-safe core drink and one seasonal or premium drink.
- Day 4 - staff tasting: score flavor, body, aroma, sweetness, visual appeal and speed of preparation.
- Day 5 - buyer tasting: show the drinks with product page links, recipe card and MOQ note.
- Day 6 - repeat best drink: remake the winner without changing the method; check whether staff can reproduce it.
- Day 7 - reorder decision: record target volume, packaging, documents, shipping market and next commercial question.
Beginner-friendly formulas for sample day
| Drink | 500 ml starting formula | Best base | Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic oolong milk tea | 160 g tea concentrate + 80 g milk + 35 g non-dairy creamer + 20 g syrup + ice. | TG-02 | Shake tea, milk, creamer and syrup with ice; serve immediately. |
| Roasted oolong latte | 170 g tea concentrate + 120 g milk + 15 g syrup + ice. | TG-04 | Shake or layer; reduce sweetness if using oat milk. |
| Lemon Tieguanyin | 180 g tea concentrate + 35 g fresh lemon + 25 g syrup + water and ice to 500 ml. | TG-01 | Shake lemon and syrup first, then add tea and ice. |
| Peach Baiya Qilan refresher | 170 g tea concentrate + 45 g peach puree + 15 g syrup + 120 g water + ice. | BQ-01 | Shake hard; use clear cup for visual appeal. |
| Oolong coffee tonic | 130 g roasted tea concentrate + 130 g sparkling water + 160 g ice + 12 g syrup + 30 g espresso. | TG-04 | Build with ice, tea and sparkling water; float espresso last. |
Reorder decision checklist
- Which drink received the highest repeat interest?
- Can staff make it from a gram-based formula without expert tea knowledge?
- Does the tea hold aroma after ice, milk, fruit or carbonation?
- What commercial pack size, carton quantity and destination market should be quoted?
- Which documents, label language or private-label route must be confirmed before shipment?
What to send FEISHUIJI after the test
Send the target market, business type, selected tea base, drink formula, expected monthly volume, preferred packaging, import or label questions, and photos of the finished drink. This lets FEISHUIJI route the inquiry to tea-base supply, private label, recipe adjustment or documentation discussion.
