Formosa Oolong Tea

This semi-fermented tea from Taiwan gets its name from the Portuguese explorers who called the island Formosa, meaning 'beautiful'. The copper-red leaves with tips of silver brew into a beautiful bright golden brisk cup with peach undertones. Delicious hot or cold. Ingredients: Taiwanese Oolong Tea Brewing Tips: Formosa Oolong tea should be brought to a point just short of boiling (190-200° F). Using one teaspoon of loose tea for each cup required, pour the boiling water over the tea leaves. Formosa Oolong is a loose leaf tea that should be steeped for 3-4 minutes. Once the ideal brewing time has been reached, the leaves should be removed to prevent further steeping. Decant and enjoy!
