| First brought to New York a century ago, this sweet brown oolong has a pronounced honey aroma and a rich flavor with notes of spice. Just in, this lot of tea was harvested in late March of 2008. |

Brewing Notes
- Start with your favorite spring or filtered water. Heat the water to about 180 F, which is when the steam curls out of the kettle. (Or let the water cool from a boil.)
- Use 2 heaping tablespoons (3g) for a 6oz serving.
- Steep for 2-3 minutes. Remove the leaves when ready -- rely on taste, not color. Use a large enough strainer basket to allow the leaves to open and release their flavor. Try it Gong Fu style -- use a small clay pot and lots of leaf for multiple infusions. Get to know the tea by playing with the amount of leaf, the water temperature, and steeping time. Re-steep to make another cup!
