House Blend Oolong – Floral & Roasty Taiwanese Blend
Created by customer request, House Blend brings together the best of both worlds—deeply roasted notes and bright floral aromatics. This satisfying Taiwanese oolong is a blend of two low-elevation varietals, offering a rich, balanced brew that’s both toasty and uplifting.
Look closely and you’ll see a range of leaf sets in the tightly rolled nuggets—from single leaves to full sprigs with buds. Crafted for everyday enjoyment, this tea is smooth, expressive, and built to steep multiple times.

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
Our opinion is that, as with some supreme quality loose teas, we do not recommend serving over ice.
