Xiaoye Black

This Taiwanese black tea uses the Shan Lin Xi cultivar, usually made into oolong, to produce a rich and clean cup of black tea. A body of moist dark wood and cacao blends with an adornment of dried blueberries and roses. A peaty afterglow rounds out this bold but very smooth black tea. Strong enough to stand up to milk but excellent on its own.    BREWING INSTRUCTIONS: SCOOP | 3 gm or 1heaping tsp per 8oz water POUR | Boiling water over leaves STEEP | 1.5 min Steeping instructions are a starting point for how to make this tea.
