Water: 195°F | Leaves: 1 TBSP per 12 ounce cup | Infusion Time: 3-4 minutes

Basic Steeping Tips

• Use filtered or spring water, whenever possible
• Don’t over-boil water
• Remove leaves after recommended time (adjust to taste)
• If you want stronger tea, use more leaves instead of steeping for a longer time.

Leaves can be re-steeped 2-3 times resulting in various flavor differences. Don’t throw out those leaves until they have given it all up!

Polyphenol in oolong tea is effective in controlling weight. It activates the enzyme that is responsible for dissolving triglycerides. Studies have confirmed that a 2-3 cup per day intake of oolong tea contributes to enhancing the function of fat metabolism and controlling obesity.

The Dong Ding Oolong hails from the Dong Ding Mountain in Nantou, Taiwan. The name means “cold summit” in Chinese. Dong Ding is one of the most famous oolong tea producing regions in Taiwan. The origins of this tea dates back to the 1860’s. It is believed that the Dong Ding Oolong tea plants are actually a specimen of the Wuyi strain that have been carefully selected and re-planted in Taiwan.
