How To Brew Oolong Teas

Oolong tea sits between black and green tea in production. Teh oolong is oxidized between 20 - 70 percent. The result is an infusion that can approach the flavor of both black and green but possess' its own unique characteristics. Most favored by the Chinese, it is little surprise if most Oolongs and indeed the finest, come from China and Taiwan. Because of the strict processing and its smooth flowery flavor, oolong teas are usually among the most expensive teas.

 

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Believe it or not, oolong teas can be better appreciated when drunk in little quantities using small, traditional Chinese style cups. Some of these cups can be the size of a thumb.

Use one teaspoon of tea per cup of water. Brew for 2 - 3 minutes using water that has just begun to steam - not yet boiling.

We highly recommend using the traditional Yixing zisha teapots and small cups to serve oolong tea. The aesthetics of the presentation will provide a memorable experience for your guests.

Visit us at our office and allow us to demonstrate! Your attitude towards tea will never be the same!

USING SUGAR, LEMON and MILK

It is forbidden to use sugar, lemon or milk to mix with oolong teas! Well, there is not international law on the subject but we hope you will agree that the tea has such refined and smooth characteristics that it needs no assistance. We hope no additional agents will be served along with this tea.
