Description

Each year we choose a lot of Tieguanyin Oolong that we think is the finest of that season’s selections. We hope that it will intoxicate the drinker with its sublime aroma and nuanced floral taste. A rich tea, it should caress the tongue with nectar. Once fully opened, the rolled leaves are broad and long with serrated edges. The first steep is about aroma. In the second steep, the leaves begin to give up their treasured tastes and will do so for a number of steeps. The taste will linger long after drinking. Rinse this tea briefly, then infuse with water at roughly 200 degrees for 1 minute.
