Taiwanese oolong tea
This tea is sweet but the toasty-dark character of raw coca beans and black beans are equally present. Thanks to the cocoa notes, the tea has a relaxing, cosy, and nostalgic feel to it. While the cocoa is definitely the main character here, the tea is complex. It is mellow, verdant, fruity and earthy at the same time, a bit like the sweet and gentle, liqueur-like aromas of raw tobacco. It is surprising how long the sweetness stays in the cup.
The liquor is a beautiful gold, and the texture is astonishingly silky. The tea goes several steeps, and interestingly, the more we infuse it the sweeter it becomes. It reaches its peak at the 3-4th infusion.
Due to its darker notes and complexity, we recommend this tea to advanced tea enthusiasts.

STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan or teapot, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Rinse. Put the tea leaves in your vessel, pour hot water over them and then discard the water quickly. This step is to "wake the leaves" a little bit.
STEP 3) Brew. Pour boiling water on your rinsed tea leaves and brew for 45 seconds.
STEP 4) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 5) Brew again.
❖ After the first few infusions, you can increase the steeping time (to about 40-45 seconds).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from cooking.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.
