Gardenia Organic Oolong Tea was brewed with Gardenia flowers harvested from a nearby village. The gardenia gives a sweet, intense aroma that completely marries the taste of the tea as early as one month after production.

How to prepare

We strongly recommend infusing this tea using the traditional Chinese method (gong fu cha) to fully appreciate the complexity of these leaves. It is recommended to use 5 grams of leaves (about 4 teaspoons) in a gaiwan of about 100 ml to obtain multiple infusions with different flavors. After a quick rinse of the leaves in 90°C water, an initial 5-second infusion can be made, increasing the time by 10 seconds with each subsequent infusion, keeping the water at the same temperature.

For a more classic, Western-style preparation, 3 grams of leaves (about 2 teaspoons) is recommended in a 150-mL cup with water at 90°C, with an infusion time of one and a half minutes. The tea can be filtered for ease during tasting. Infusion times are for reference only and can be adjusted according to personal taste.

Preservation

We recommend storing the tea in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to keep its aromatic and flavor qualities intact.
