614 Formosa Pouchong

The Formosa Pouchong is an unusual tea that adds a wonderful taste dimension to any tea collection. As is typical of a good Pouchong, it shares commonalities with both Green and Oolong teas. Since it is only about 18% oxidized, Formosa Pouchong has the floral aroma and fruitiness of an Oolong and the lightness of a green tea. A very likeable tea that is highly recommended for both the tea novice and connisseur alike.

Recommendations: Use 2 heaping tsp. per 6 oz. cup; heat fresh, cold water until steaming briskly (195°F); let steep for 2-3 min.

The leaves support many consecutive infusions, making it a great tea for Gungfu style preparation.

Ingredients: Oolong tea

Health Benefits: Studies show that oolong tea, rich in antioxidants, promotes healthy teeth, skin and bones and can help to lower cholesterol, protect against heart disease and aid in digestion and weight loss. Since oolong tea contains a significant amount of polyphenol (known as tannin), it is believed to account for the lower risk of cancer in tea drinkers because of its ability to help DNA cells to accurately reproduce.
