Alishan Oolong Taiwan High Mountain Tea
rich full bodied aroma and refreshingly sweet taste
Tea ware recommended:
It can be either using porcelain tea set or Yixing clay tea set to steep Taiwan oolong tea, depending on personal preference.
Porcelain (tea pot):
- Rinse tea ware with hot boiling water.
- Take an appropriate amount of tea leaves (~8 grams, depending on personal taste) placed in the tea pot.
- To wash the tea leaves; slowly pour 95°c of hot water (close to boiling point) into tea pot just to cover tea leaves, beginning along the edge of tea pot gradually to the center by using rotating pouring method. When the water run over the tea leaves, immediately discard the froth or impurities, and drain off the liquor.
- After washing the tea, do the first infusion with 100°c hot water but fill water just up to 90% of tea pot, and cover with lid. Frequently shower tea pot with boiling water to keep the temperature.
- First infusion can be ready about 30 sec.
*Increase steeping time (add 5 more sec.) for every subsequent brewing.
