Taiwanese oolong tea
This is a rare and fascinating tea created by bringing Tieguanyin variety to the Shanlin valley, located at a high altitude and famous for its high mountain teas. To bring out the full charm of the Tieguanyin variety, the tea is firmly and heavily roasted using charcoal from longan tree.
The Mountain of Shan Lin Xi is located in Central Taiwan, its tea plantations are 1500m above sea level. Most teas from this mountain are light oolongs.
The first impressions are toasty and smokey with mineral notes, which gives the tea a deep and warm feel. After the first few infusions, the toasty notes are still present but lose their sharpness, and the note of caramel takes the lead, tender and creamy. The tea will be still edgy but smoothened with the buttery texture and the hint of coconut aroma.
The fragrance of the dry leaves recalls sour cherries and char. The tea soup, already telling the tale of its full-bodied, robust character, is deep sunset gold with a faint, sweet, and sour aftertaste.

STEP 1) Put the tea leaves into the pot. Pour hot water over it for a few seconds, then pour it into the cups, then pour it all out. (This opens the leaves up while also pre-heats the tea utensils.)
STEP 2) Pour water over the leaves.
STEP 3) Steam it for required time.
STEP 4) Pour the tea into a pitcher, then into the cups to serve.
❖ For the second infusion, steep it for about half the time of the first infusion. For every other infusion after that increase the steeping time (from the time of the first infusion).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from steaming too much.
Taste of tea is a matter of preference, so try infusing tea in several ways and find your
favorite way to infuse.
