515 China Superior Ti Kuan Yin Oolong
This entirely handmade Ti Kuan Yin from the Chinese Fujian Province has an unusually pronounced natural sweetness. Compared to No. 511 it has a lighter cup color and a more complex, sweet, orchid-like aroma. The Iron Goddess' sought-after, characteristically orchid-like, rich flavor persists effortlessly for three infusions. If not for its slightly inconsistent leaf appearance, this tea would demand a substantially higher price. Also great when chilled.
Recommendations: Use 1 heaping tsp. per 6 oz. cup; heat fresh cold water until steaming briskly (195ºF); let steep for 2 1/2 minutes.
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.
