BREWING SUGGESTIONS
Use approximately 5 grams of leaf per 8 oz of water and brew with water 90C or 1 90F (just before boiling). Infuse about 2 minutes, allow tea to cool off a little before enjoying. Like all good Oolong teas, the Winter Harvest Imperial Green Oolong may be re-steeped multiple times by gradually increasing steeping time on each successive steeping. Always adjust quantity of leaves, infusion time, and water temperature according to your personal preferences.
I brew many types of green tea and the first time I brewed this tea I asked myself what so special about this tea. Then I brewed it at a little hotter temperature and behold a marvelous green oolong.
I am delighted with this new tea and hope you can keep it permanently stocked. I’m with you, green oolong is my favorite and this one is exceptional.
