About This Blend
Oolong tea is semi-oxidised which gives it a little bit more body than green tea (unoxidised) but less strength than black tea (fully oxidised), and interestingly the process gives the flavour a very unique twist. The leaves are lightly bruised to start oxidation. During this process the characteristic 'curly' leaf edge is created. After 15-25 minutes (depending upon ambient temperature and humidity levels) the tea is then fired to stop oxidation, locking in the special flavour profile.
Tasting Notes
Exceptionally high grade Oolong encompassing the most unique character of comforting sweet milk and light orchid notes. Unlike some other milk Oolongs, it does not contain the addition of lactose. The milky taste of this special tea is naturally developed during a unique oxidation process.
Caffeine Content
Low
Brewing Guide
This tea has to be brewed slightly differently to other teas. To get the best out of them closely follow the guide below:
1 teaspoon per cup/person.
Briefly 'wash' the tea in freshly boiled water, quickly pour off the liquor. Leave the leaves in the pot/infuser to open for 2 minutes.
After 2 mins add water at approx 80 - 85 degrees Celsius (after boiling, by adding a splash of cold water to the kettle and leaving the lid off for a few mins you can roughly achieve the correct temperature)
Leave to infuse 1-3 minutes.
Can be re-infused several times until the flavour is exhausted. If you've left the leaves to open up after 'washing', the brewing times can be shorter and you will achieve more numerous infusions.
It's best to ensure your chosen teapot/infuser basket is large enough for the leaves to unfurl and the flavour to properly develop.
Drink without milk.
