Cui Yu Oolong Tea is one of new varietals developed in Taiwan in the 1990s. Cui Yu tea leaf is larger and rounder than Oolong tea leaf. Processed in half ball Oolong style, a light fermented Oolong with fresh floral aroma. Cui Yu literally means "green jade", referring to its colour and taste. The taste begins with a hint of green tea, constantly build up the characters of Oolong, end with a long-lasting wild flower aroma.

Brewing:  

Steep 1 teaspoon tea leaves in 150cc(5oz) 95°C(203F) water, steam about 1 minute for the first brew to unroll the leaves. 30-40 seconds for the second infusion, and double the timing for the following infusions. Provides 3 or more infusions.

The tea leaves need to be fully expanded in the container. To avoid over packed, loose tea leaves should be less than 1/4 full of the teapot or container. After steeping, the tea leaves will expand to 80%-90% of the container.

Teaware:
Gong Fu teaware, Yi Xing teapot, Gai Wan, porcelain, pottery, glassware.
