This premium loose leaf oolong tea offers a baked, biscuit-y aroma with high notes of pepper. The full-bodied brew features smooth woodland flavors, with a touch of caramel, malt, and a subtle hint of verdant green qualities.
Nepali teas are revered for their purity and distinctiveness. Zero pollution, extreme elevation, and drastic temperature changes all create ideal conditions for flavorful tea.
Oolong tea leaves are best used for multiple infusions. Shangri-La Oolong translates very nicely with a hot but brief first infusion, with slightly cooler but longer subsequent steeps. The leaves may be re-infused several times, with each resulting infusion yielding different liquor from the proceeding cup.
Bring filtered or spring water to 180°F. Add 1.5 tsp of tea leaves to an 8oz cup. Pour boiling water over the tea leaves and let steep 3 minutes.
