About English Tea Store Loose Leaf, Ti Kuan Yin Iron
Delivering a bit more body than green tea, oolongs are semi-fermented and have a unique flavor. Also unlike green tea, oolongs are not to be picked too early, or at too tender of a stage, and then produced immediately. Tea leaves destined to be used for oolongs are wilted in the direct sun and are then shaken in tubular bamboo baskets to bruise the edges of the leaves - therefore, the edges oxidize faster than the center. After 15-25 minutes, the tea is fired, locking in that unique flavor. This premium grade tea can at first taste bitter, then sweet, and finishes with a fragrance that lingers on your palate. This tea is best enjoyed hot, and delivers a light cup with a pale green-yellow liquor. For the best brew, ti kuan yin iron goddess oolong should steep in water that has been brought to a light boil (165-190 degrees f) for 1-3 minutes.
