A reserve grade oolong tea with a pleasant honey orchid aroma. The flavor is both sweet and lingering while possessing a silky body. Flavors of peach, apricot, and honey are accented by intense floral notes. This tea should be infused numerous times to reveal its unique and subtle characteristics.

This tea is sold in 50 gram bags only.

The most effective way to maximize the flavor of Golden Phoenix Oolong is to follow these steps:

• Use 1-2 grams of tea, depending on the desired strength, for each ounce of water.
• Fill the pot with just enough 195˚ water to cover the leaf. Pour off this water immediately and discard. Rinsing the leaf will open the tealeaves for a better extraction. Do not skip this step. Note the powerful aroma coming off the leaves.
• Fill the pot with water and steep for 10-15 seconds. Pour off the 1st infusion completely.
• Fill the pot a second time and steep for another 10-15 seconds. Note the difference in flavor and color.
• For the third infusion increase the time to 20-30 seconds.
• For each additional infusion increase the steeping time to get the desired strength.

Using 1 gram of tea per ounce of water should yield at least 4 strong infusions. Using more tea will produce more infusions and greater strength. Each infusion will be slightly different in strength and flavor and can be appreciated individually or combined for a greater volume of brewed tea.
