What Does It Mean to Rest a Tea?

This was a really fun episode to record. We drank an excellent heavy roasted Alishan oolong from our teacher Mr Zhan. It's been resting for a year or so, and although it has mellowed out we are looking forward to how it develops further. It has a lot of potential. This got us on the topic of how to watch for and experience your tea as it 'rests' and develops over time.
