Taiwan Wen Shan Pouchong, 2 oz package

Wen Shan Pouchong

This Wen Shan Pouchong was grown in the winter of 2007 and won the silver medal in the tea competition. This area is renowned for its cool, moist climate, and its rich soil. The hills of Wen Shan have produced some of the finest light oolong teas over the past 200 years. Very slightly oxidized, Pouchong is rolled long and tight. Once steeped, the deep green leaves produce a beautiful jade liquor which yields a subtle flavor and aroma, followed by a sweet aftertaste.

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!
