Oolong tea FAQ
How do I brew oolong tea?
Use 1 to 2 teaspoons per 8 oz cup and water at 185 to 205°F. Use the lower end for green, floral oolongs and the higher end for roasted ones. Steep 3 to 5 minutes, or brew gongfu style with more leaf and many short 20 to 40 second steeps.
How many times can I steep oolong?
Good oolong is made to be re-steeped. Rolled oolongs often give 3 to 5 western-style infusions, and even more with gongfu brewing, as the leaves slowly unfurl.
What is milk oolong?
Milk oolong is usually made from the Jin Xuan cultivar, which has a naturally creamy, buttery taste and aroma. There is no milk in the tea itself.
What is GABA oolong?
GABA oolong is processed with a period of oxygen-free fermentation, which raises its natural GABA content and gives it a sweet, fruity, slightly tangy flavor, a bit like dried fruit or baked apple.
