A rare single estate oolong tea, presented for your enjoyment.
Estate: Doke
Region: Bihar
Flush: 2nd Flush 2012
Our Category: Premium Tea
Why we selected this tea: This is quite simply our favourite oolong. For years Taiwan and China have competed to make the best oolongs: in our opinion, this Indian oolong is a ‘must try’ that challenges the oolong superpowers. It’s super premium oolong, fruity and flavourful, and steeps many times. It is quite robust in terms of making a pot; it is not damaged by hotter water as many oolongs are.
Making a Pot: (Start with our method and adjust to taste): Boil the kettle and then let it stand for one minute. Infuse 2 grams of tea per 175 grams of water. Brew for 90 seconds. Drain liquid off and reserve leaves for further steepings. Add about 15 seconds each re-steeping.
