Default water temp for Anxi oolong?

Alex writes:

Hi everyone. I'm getting into a major Anxi / tieguanyin phase, and
I've been having some issues with weird grassy tastes. It might be
that I've bought crappy tea, but I want to make sure. So, I was
wondering: what temperature water does everyone use for greenish
tieguanyin?


Maybe you should try roasting it a bit. In my experience, a toaster
oven a bit below 200F can fix the grassiness in under an hour.
