313 King's Tea Can (300g) (#1026)

Ten Ren's 313 King's Oolong Tea consists of very fine oolong harvested during the premium seasons, spring and winter, and from the best area to grow oolong, the mountains of central Taiwan.  The leaves are the blended with a touch of ginseng to create an incredible aftertaste. Each tea leaf is handpicked to ensure harvests of young terminal buds. The steeped tea has a light green hue, sweet flora aroma with roasted undertones, moderate tartness as the initial flavour, and sweet, pure aftertaste which lasts after the sip.

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.
