Full Description

Traditionally grown at a lower altitude, this oolong tea is cultivated to remind the drinker of the freshness of spring at any time of the year. Raised in the mountains of Taiwan and harvested four times per year, this tea’s leaf is always captured in its most youthful state, resulting in a lovely and sweet beverage. Gently collected and then placed between cloths, this artisan crafted tea is rolled through a machine as a part of its processing to capture its timeless spring fresh flavor. As a result, you can expect your tea to arrive in the shape of compressed tea “pebbles” ready to expand in hot water. 

Origin

Lu gu, Taiwan

Brewing Instruction

	Gai Wan or ceramic pot
	Add 5gram/1 tbsp
	90 C / 195 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
• Repeat for another 5+ infusions and increase the steeping time by 10 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.
