109 King's Tea Can

Ten Ren 109 King's Oolong Tea consists of quality oolong harvested from central Taiwan, that has been blended with a touch of ginseng to create an incredible aftertaste. The steeped tea has a light golden brown hue, mild roasted aroma with sweet undertones, the initial flavour of roasted chestnuts, and light sweet and roasted aftertaste which lingers at the back of the throat.

The water used to steep this tea should be about 185-195F or 85-90C. Use about 2 teaspoons (3grams) of tea leaves for about every 5 ounces (150 millilitres)of water. A steeping time of about 3-5 minutes is recommended with more or less time depending on the desired concentration. As a rough guide, the higher the temperature of the water or the grater the amount of leaves used, the shorter the steeping time should be. The tea leaves should uncurl for full flavour. For the ultimate enjoyment, a traditional   Chinese Yixing teapot is recommended for loose oolong tea. The teapot should be half filled with leaves and initially steeped for 45 seconds to 1 minute with the steeping time increased by an additional 15 seconds for each successive steeping. The leaves may be steeped multiple times.
