Emerald Oolong is a lightly baked Taiwanese oolong that delivers a deeply floral, lingering cup. Crafted from a Wu-Yi varietal grown in the low-elevation fields of Mingjian Township, Nantou County, this tea reflects the region’s skill in producing expressive, aromatic oolongs. The smaller, slightly fibrous leaves lend themselves well to light baking, which enhances the tea’s natural richness without overshadowing its delicate floral character.

Smooth, fragrant, and versatile, Emerald Oolong can be steeped multiple times. Careful brewing is the key to bringing out its best flavor—water that’s too hot, or steeping for too long, can intensify its floral notes beyond balance. Brew with attention, and Emerald rewards with a cup that’s lush, layered, and memorable.

BREWING INSTRUCTIONS

Serving Size: 8 fl oz (237 ml)

BY THE CUP
  1. Heat water to 195°F (boiling).
  2. Scoop one heaping teaspoon of tea into an infuser and place it into your teacup.
  3. Pour 8 fl oz (237 ml) of hot water over tea leaves.
  4. Steep for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Remove infuser and enjoy. Can be steeped multiple times.
POTFUL
  1. Determine the capacity of your pot in cups (8 fl oz servings).
  2. Heat water to 195°F (boiling).
  3. Place infuser in pot.
  4. Add tea leaves to your infuser. Use a ratio of one heaping teaspoon of tea for each cup of water you intend to add.
  5. Pour hot (195°F) water over the tea leaves.
  6. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes.
  7. Remove infuser and enjoy.
GONG FU BREWING

1. Fill the pot 1/5 full of dry leaf.
2. Add 195°F water and allow to stand for 60 seconds before decanting and drinking.
3. For subsequent brews:

  • Second brew: Steep for 20 seconds.
  • Third brew: Steep for 45 seconds.
  • Fourth brew: Steep for 1 minute 20 seconds.
  • Fifth brew: Steep for 2 minutes 20 seconds, etc.

NOTE: As flavor particulates sink, decanting into a pouring pitcher and from there to cups works best. Alternatively, cups can be partially filled, then topped off in reverse order, so flavor in each cup will be approximately the same.

ICED TEA

For a concentrated brew:

  1. Use the same leaf quantities as above but halve the water.
  2. Allow it to cool.
  3. Pour over ice and enjoy as it dilutes to proper strength.
