Features
- Contains: 2oz.
- Helpful Tips:
- Use fresh tap water, preferably filtered to remove chlorine. Bottled waters labeled "spring water" work best. Distilled, mineral, or water labeled as "drinking water" should be avoided as they tend to have too much or too little mineral content to produce an ideal cup. In general, softer water requires a shorter steeping time and harder water requires a longer steeping time.
- Oolong teas steep best using a small (12oz or less) teapot. 2-6 oz pots earthenware pots are common throughout Asia and work quite well for this type of tea. A pot with a strainer built into the spout is ideal. Since oolong is ideally made using lots of leaf for many infusions, small pots have the added advantage of reducing costs per pot.
- Oolong teas tend to steep best using water 180-205° F. Boiling water will over-extract the tea producing a bitter, astringent cup. A quick way to cool the water is to pour it into the empty teapot. Then pour the water into a cup(s). Using the cool teapot and cups should cool the water to an appropriate temperature. If not, wait a minute or two, before adding the leaves and water to the pot.
