Organic Brandy Oolong

This tea is smooth, heavy-bodied, and fruity, which is why it is called “brandy” oolong.  The first few seconds will recall cocoa, which gives way to a plum-like, slightly peachy palate.  The overall notes are complex, a savory initial taste segueing into a good dark oolong’s characteristic fruity sweetness.  Take a sip and you will agree, this is a tea that commands your attention. Brew using water temperature above 95c, we have found that it can even tolerate 100c--boiling temperature—and still produce flavorful liquor without astringency.  To maximize re-steep potential, however, 95-97c is ideal.  Three gram per 100ml, brewed for sixty to ninety seconds will impart a full body to the tea.  Enjoy!
