The actual process of blending is roasting. Tea masters add hand-picked Sweet Osmanthus flowers in to tea leaves and roast together. After roasting, Sweet Osmanthus aroma is fully extracted into tea leaves, the tea leaves are separated from the flowers, only some tiny flowers remaining in the tea leaves. The separated flowers are sent to make lower graded Guihua Oolong; this is why the top grading Guihua Oolong always come with fewer flowers in the tea leaves. Our Formosa Guihua Oolong releases charming floral aroma with the delicate taste of Oolong, is one of the popular floral Oolong, and also a beauty drink in Chinese tea culture for centuries. Brewing: For most of the half ball style Oolong tea, the best water temperature is "just boiled and cools a little".  You can start with 1 tsp for 120cc(4oz) 95°C(203F) water, steam about 1 min for the first brew to unroll the leaves. 30-40 seconds for the second infusion, and add 20 seconds for the following infusions. Provides at least 5 infusions, up to 9 infusions. As for Formosa Guihua Oolong, the first infusion can be shorter, about 50 seconds would be plenty. The tea leaves need to be fully expanded in the container, remember not to put too much loose tea to avoid over packed. One tip to keep in mind is the amount of dry loose tea should be around 1/5 or smaller of the teaware or container, after brewing, the tea leaves will expand to 80%-90% of the container. Once you get familiar with the tea, you may explore your own brewing method. Teaware: Gongfu teaware or Yixing pots suit best for Oolong tea, glassware, Gaiwan, or porcelain teaware are also good personal choices. TEA Review Your Name  Rating       Review   Add Review
