This special, full bodied oolong (wu-long) has a flowery and cinnamon aftertaste. It is a good digestive and metabolic stimulant for improved function. Our organic teabag line offers the sophisticated tea drinker a quick alternative. It is not easy to reproduce a loose leaf tea, but if one learns to brew these bags with a little attention, the outcome is a surprisingly good brewa. Some important reminders are the water temperature for teabags should be between 150-180 deg f. Water that comes straight out of a boiling water kettle will especially scorch green or white teabags. Water that comes out of an office water cooler is usually about 160-165 degrees, and that is perfect for our teabags. Please monitor your steeping time. The leaves can infuse in as little as 30 seconds, so vary the steeping time until you discover you own preferred concentration. Do not leave the teabag in the water to 'make it stronger', you will only make it more bitter. Steep for 1.5-2 minutes for a tasty cup that is lighter than an average black tea. Also try using 4-6 oz of water instead of 10-14 oz which is the size of an average mug. By brewing in less water the tea brew will be stronger and tastier. Teabags can be reused once if brewed immediately and with water of a lower temperature. Do not use a teabag again if it has been out for hours or overnight.
