517 China Ti Kuan Yin Monkey Picked
Our competition grade Ti Kuan Yin is one of the best available. This Monkey Picked takes the treasured characteristics of a Ti Kuan Yin to the extreme. We recommend preparing this quiet, fine oolong gungfu style so as to be able to enjoy many infusions. Use a small brewing vessel such as a Guywan or Yixing pot, add a very generous amount of leaves, stop the first infusion after only about 30 seconds. This first infusion is considered by many to be the best for aroma. Try a second and a third infusion. Every infusion will reveal new nuances until finally the flavor will fade.
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.
