519 China Zhongshan Baiye Oolong

Experience a tea with an amazing history. Grown in the Phoenix Mountains of the Chinese Guangdong Province, this Oolong has been entirely handmade for over 700 years - since the Ming Dynasty, long before tea was introduced to the Western World. It is grown on ancient, un-pruned tea trees, and can be harvested only with the use of ladders. Carefully smelling a handful of the long, dark leaves reveals a broad pallet of fragrances, ranging from woody to toasty, to a most unusual, sweet fruitiness. The golden-amber infusion has a complex yet delicate, toasty-fruity aroma and flavor.

Recommendations: Use 1 soupspoon per 6 oz. cup; heat water until steaming briskly (195ºF); let steep for 2 1/2 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.
