Golden Monkey Oolong

Oolong Tea by Swan Sisters Tea

Picked on the first clear day of the Spring Oolong season in the famed Wuyi Mountains of Northern Fujian, China. Hand picked from a very fragrant tea tree varietal, this premium Oolong offers nuances of spiced plums with a rich, lingering finish in the mouth. The farm that makes this tea uses highly regarded old plots that have been cultivated for centuries. 2 teaspoons of Golden Monkey Oolong can be infused with boiling water (200-212 degrees) up to 6 times.

The flavor is incredibly floral, even from the very beginning. In some ways, it is reminiscent of a very floral Ti Kwan Yin. For a roasted oolong, the roast flavor is not too heavy. Smooth drinking and infinitely sippable. 30 second infusions. Very resteepable.

Yesterday’s drinking of this tea was performed at a tea shop, where I reinfused the same leaves five times in a two cup pot (gong fu style…or an attempt at such with the amount of leaves I was given). Right before leaving the shop, I took a three cup to-go cup and dumped the leaves into it, filling it with hot water and letting it steep. When I got home, I put the cup into the refrigerator, and this morning I have a nice cup of chilled tea that is quite tasty. Cheers!
