Green Jade Oolong – Honeyed Taiwanese Oolong

Green Jade Oolong is a smooth, easy-drinking Taiwanese oolong with a balanced roast and a naturally sweet finish. Spring-plucked and medium roasted, this tightly rolled tea opens into a rich golden cup with notes of honey, warm grain, and soft florals reminiscent of cassia blossoms.

Produced near Ming Jian Village in Nantou County, this hybrid varietal was developed by the Taiwan Tea Experimental Station and has become a popular everyday oolong thanks to its approachable character and dependable flavor. The medium roast gives the tea a comforting warmth while still allowing its floral sweetness to come through clearly.

One of the pleasures of Green Jade is the lingering aftertaste. Long after the last sip, soft honeyed and floral notes continue to unfold on the palate.

  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 190°F (boiling).
  3. Place infuser in pot.

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.
