This lightly oxidized oolong from the Song Bo region of Taiwan is all about floral fragrance and flavor. You'll notice lilac, orchid and pineapple with a hint of honey. It produces four harvests per year (one harvest per season), but each harvest tastes like "the springtime." Tightly rolled leaves unfurl, releasing a surprisingly potent leaf that holds up for several steepings and brings sunshine to a dreary day. Si Ji Chun Tasting Notes: Silky, Honeysuckle, Mineral, Orchid Steep: Particularly well suited to gong fu brewing, but for Western-style brewing, try 2 tsp of tea for 8oz water. Water temperature: 185. Steep time 3 minutes. The tea leaves are good for several steepings -- when your mug is empty, reuse the tea leaves to brew some more! Sweetener: Not recommended Approximately 10 tsp in a 1 ounce package. Show more
