Small Cafe 500 g Oolong Tea Base Sample Menu Plan
A small cafe can turn one 500 g oolong tea-base sample into a focused four-drink test: cold brew oolong, light milk tea, roasted oolong latte and sparkling citrus oolong. The goal is a reorder decision, not an unfocused tasting session.
Four-drink cafe sample plan
| Drink | Best starting base | 500 ml starting formula | Decision point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cold Brew Oolong | TG-01 Light-Aroma Tieguanyin or BQ-01 Baiya Qilan | 10 g dry tea + 500 g chilled water; refrigerate 6-8 hours and filter. | Does the cafe need a clean afternoon tea beside cold brew coffee? |
| Light Oolong Milk Tea | TG-01 Light-Aroma Tieguanyin | 180 g tea concentrate + 120 g fresh milk + 15 g syrup + ice to 500 ml. | Does aroma survive milk and ice without tasting heavy? |
| Roasted Oolong Latte | TG-04 Charcoal-Roasted Tieguanyin | 180 g tea concentrate + 160 g milk or oat drink + 12 g syrup + ice. | Can the roasted note sit beside coffee and oat latte customers? |
| Sparkling Citrus Oolong | TG-01 or BQ-01 | 150 g tea concentrate + 110 g sparkling water + 25 g lemon or yuzu + 15 g syrup + ice. | Does the drink look premium and stay clean after carbonation? |
How to allocate the 500 g sample
| Use | Dry tea | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Brew calibration | 80 g | Confirm water, temperature, time and filtered yield. |
| Four drink screen | 180 g | Build all four drinks with the same staff and tools. |
| Top-two repeat | 140 g | Repeat the best two drinks on another day or shift. |
| Photo, cost and training | 100 g | Make final menu photos, estimate cost per cup and write staff notes. |
What a buyer should record
- Tea base code, brew standard, batch note and water used.
- Final drink weight, ice amount, milk or fruit system and syrup level.
- Staff difficulty, aroma after 15 minutes, visual appeal and customer language.
- Estimated selling price and dry tea cost per cup.
- Decision: reject, revise, repeat sample or request quotation.
Claim-safe customer language
Use clear wording such as cold brew oolong, roasted oolong latte, light oolong milk tea and sparkling citrus oolong. Do not call the drinks caffeine-free, healthier than coffee, low-caffeine, detox or suitable for caffeine-sensitive customers unless the exact finished drink has supporting evidence.
