618 Formosa Tung Ting Jade Oolong
Named after its bright jade cup color, this Oolong is grown in Formosa's Tung Ting Mountains at an altitude of over 6000 feet. Oxidized only about 22%, it is a highly aromatic, green Oolong with an striking floral scent reminiscent of honeysuckle and gardenia. The liquor is full-bodied, sweet and refreshing, and lingers on the palate.
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.
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.
