Jasmine Chung Hao – WS

For all jasmine aficionados, this heavenly floral tea from the Fujian province of China, is one to try! The medium sized, aromatic, tippy, dark olive-green leaves produce a light ecru cup with a strong, sweet jasmine taste.

Oolong teas, aka wulong, are made from large leaves that are produced in the late Spring. Unlike other types of tea that contain the top leaves and the buds of the bush, oolong teas are large well formed leaves that will sometimes also contain the stem of the bush. Oolongs differ from green, black and white teas by the method of processing and are the most labor intensive tea to produce. Each type of Oolong varies in the percentage of oxidation and the method in which it is processed (some are twisted, tippy leaves, some are cut, some are rolled into small balls).

Brew tea at 180º – steep for 3 minutes. This tea lends itself to multiple infusions; for multiple infusions, let the tea steep for approximately 20-30 seconds longer on each subsequent infusion.
