Preparation of Organic Dong Ding Oolong Tea
We highly recommend infusing this tea in the traditional Chinese method (gong fu cha) to best enjoy these leaves. Following this preparation, 5 grams of leaves (about 3 teaspoons) can be used in a gaiwan of about 180 ml to make several infusions with different tastes. After a quick rinse of the leaves in water at 95°C, an initial infusion of 10 seconds can be made, after which, keeping the water at the same temperature, the time can be increased each time by 10 seconds compared to the previous infusion (10 – 20 – 30…).
This tea has a longevity of about 7 infusions.
For a classic preparation according to the Western style we recommend 3 grams of leaves (about 2 teaspoons) in a 150 ml cup with water at 95°C for an infusion time of one and a half minutes.
The tea can be filtered for ease when tasting and also the infusion times given here above are meant to be purely indicative so you can also adjust according to your personal taste.
It is suggested during the tasting to try to let the tea rest in the cup for about one minute before drinking it in order to better taste its sweetness.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
