A low-elevation, spring-plucked Taiwanese oolong, our Jade Oolong has undergone medium-tight rolling and medium roasting, which brings out both a flavor and an aroma of honey and cassia flowers. The aftertaste will linger for a few minutes after drinking, allowing one to enjoy the tea after the last drop has been consumed.
Our Jade Oolong is produced around Ming Jien village,
Nantou County, located in central Taiwan. It is a hybrid varietal, brought into being in recent years by the Taiwan Tea Experimental Station. Jade is widely available and is a good, economical choice.
Taiwanese Oolong Tea.
*Organically Grown.
- Scoop a slightly heaping teaspoon of tea leaves into your infuser.
- Heat water to 190° (just before boiling).
- Pour 8 oz. of water over tea leaves.
- Steep tea for 3-5 minutes (depending on taste preference).
- Remove infuser and enjoy tea. Can be steeped multiple times.
Simply add to your infuser one heaping teaspoonful of leaf per 8 oz. of water and place it in your pot, then add the appropriate amount of 190° water and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the infuser and serve!
Our opinion is that a cooled concentrate works best, as regular-strength brew tends to become watery as the ice melts. So, use the above leaf quantities, but half the water, allow it to cool, then pour it over ice and enjoy! The brew will dilute down to proper strength as the ice melts.
