how to brew strong oolong


Bring soft water to the boil and leave to cool slightly to 95 - 98°C.

Warm the purple clay pot, pitcher and cups using some of the hot water.

If the oolong tea leaves are tighly rolled, fill the pot with 1/3 tea leaves else put 2/3.

Pour 120-140ml hot water into the gaiwan in a circular fashion to allow the tea leaves to dance in the pot.

Let the leaves steep 50sec to 1 min.

Empty the pot completely into the warmed pitcher and gently pour tea a little at a time into each warmed cup to ensure evenness.

For 3 or 4 more infusions, add more hot water to pot and adding 10 sec for each subsequent infusion.
