A low-elevation, spring-plucked Taiwanese oolong, our Green Jade Oolong has undergone medium-tight rolling and medium roasting, which brings out both a flavor and an aroma of honey and cassia flowers. The aftertaste will linger for a few minutes after drinking, allowing one to enjoy the tea after the last drop has been consumed.

Our Green Jade Oolong is produced around Ming Jian village, Nantou County, located in central Taiwan. It is a hybrid varietal, brought into being in recent years by the Taiwan Tea Experimental Station. Green Jade is widely available and is a good, economical choice.

POTFUL
  1. Determine the capacity of your pot in cups (8 fl oz servings).
  2. Heat water to 190°F (boiling).

GONG FU BREWING

1. Fill the pot 1/5 full of dry leaf.
2. Add 190°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.
