Brewing Instruction Gaiwan & Teapot
 |
Gai Wan or ceramic pot |
 |
Add 5gram/1 tbsp |
 |
85 C / 185 F |
Ceramic Teapot:
- Add 8oz water and infuse for 3 min.
- Repeat for another 3+ infusions and increase the steeping time by 30 seconds with each additional infusion
Gai Wan (Recommended for best infusions):
- Add water and infuse for 5 seconds for 2 infusions
- Repeat for another 4+ infusions and increase the steeping time by 5 seconds with each additional infusion
We strongly encourage experimenting with different quantities, steeping times and tea wares to find your most desired result. However, avoid over heated water, as it will over-extract the bitter compounds and astringency of the tea, whereas water that’s too cool might not fully extract the aroma and flavor.

United StatesI love this tea more than I thought I could love a hot beverage. It's soft and light and the depth of flavor that comes with the second steep is unimaginable. Aesthetically, I love watching the leaves unfurl in the water and the beautiful light color the tea turns. I cannot recommend this Milky Oolong enough.
Thank you so much! A Li Shan is one of our favorites too, so delicate yet fragrant.
United StatesThis tea starts out with a sweet aroma followed by a milky taste, almost with a hint of mild honey. The aroma of this tea compliments the taste, and the aftertaste leaves a nutty almond aftertaste. The taste stays around for 3-4 brews and the astringency only kicks in around the 5th brew. I went until the 6th brew while still being able to taste this tea's flavor. The seventh brew started the astringency; but for a oolong to give 3-4 good brews is definitely a bargain. Would definitely try this one again! Definitely on my list for oolong for my guests.
