What it is

To prepare, heat fresh, cold water to just below boiling, around 185°F (85°C). Use about one teaspoon of tea leaves per 8 ounces of water. Steep for 2 to 3 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. Avoid over-steeping, which can make the tea bitter. You can re-steep the leaves multiple times, with each infusion revealing slightly different nuances of flavor and aroma. Enjoy it plain to appreciate its full character.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike black teas, this oolong is not fully oxidized, giving it a lighter body and less astringency. It also differs from green teas by undergoing a partial oxidation, which develops more complex floral and fruity notes. The addition of violet elements provides a distinct perfumed quality not found in unflavored oolongs.
Who it is for
This tea is for anyone who appreciates nuanced flavors and enjoys exploring different types of tea.
How to keep the rest
Store the remaining tea in an airtight container away from direct sunlight, heat, and strong odors. This will help preserve its delicate aroma and flavor. Keep it in a cool, dry place for optimal freshness.
