Taiwanese oolong tea
Mu Zha Tie Guan Yin is a tea with a slightly higher degree of fermentation made of a cultivar called Tie Guan Yin managed by many generations of the Zhang family in Mu Zha district, New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Only a little more than 100 farmers grow this tea. Since it is sought after by many consumers, they are said to be difficult to purchase even in the city of Taipei. It is not very bitter; rather, you can feel the moderate sweetness from the first brew. At first, it gives a refreshing aroma like mint, however, the more times you brew it the aroma will become sweet like a rose flower. The profound taste and dignity make it Mu Zha Tie Guan Yin tea.

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 for "waking the leaves" a little bit.
STEP 3) Brew. Pour boiling water on your rinsed tea leaves and brew for 30 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 35-40 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.
