518 China Hairy Crab Oolong
Mao Xie Wu Long has been cultivated among the winding hilly gardens of Anxi, southern Fujian Province since early Qing times. Commonly referred to by its English translation, Hairy Crab Oolong is so named for its deeply serrated leaf form and the fine downy hair that can be seen on its leaves. Grown from its own tea plant varietal, the tea is entirely handmade and is produced in a manner similar to the Ti Kuan Yins, but has a less flowery aroma and taste. Instead, it is fruitier and distinctly reminiscent of ripe peach. A very delicate, refreshing Oolong - perfect for Guywan preparation.
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.
