Alishan is one of the important tea regions in Taiwan, and produces top quality Oolongs. Its natural quality of sweetness and complex flavor make it one of the best teas in Taiwan. Light fermentation and roasting can bring out the natural fruity aroma of tea without ruin the depth and thickness of the tea. 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. 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
