Iron Oolong 960 - Ateava tea Store

Quietly sweet and refreshing aftertaste with gentle floral and citron tones.

This tea offers a distinct but delicate "young" depth of flavor, and a quietly sweet and refreshing aftertaste enhanced with gentle floral and citron tones which lingers on your palate.

These leaves will effortlessly evoke these warm, refined gentle tones following multiple infusions.

Whole dark green leaves wilted in the direct sun and then rolled in tubular bamboo baskets which slightly bruise the leaf edges for enhanced oxidation at the center. The leaves are then fired, defining the distinct flavor profile, accentuated by a luminous green aroma.

Pale green yellow liquor with the finest touch of mellow green noticeable at the edges, tending slightly amber.

Did you know? Although Oolong is both refreshing and delicious, it can also benefit your health. Research shows drinking Oolong tea can significantly lower the intake of fat content in the blood after meals, aiding in digestion, as well as promoting healthy teeth, skin and bones.

Bring fresh cold water to a rolling boil once, careful not to over boil, and allow one minute to cool down.

Ateava recommends using purple clay or porcelain tea ware (gong fu style), and drinking via thimble-sized cups. Gently add leaves into a teapot and quickly flush (cover the leaves with hot water and pour it off) to appreciate the aroma of the leaves. Infuse with the near-boiling water for 1-3 minutes and serve.

Increase both steeping time and/or water temperature for each successive infusion up to 4 times.
