    "Nine Lives" Organic Oolong is grown in the high mountains of Wu Liang in the Simao region of Yunnan Province, China, where the natural environment creates some of the finest teas in Yunnan.  The thick tea leaves are very giving, allowing the leaves to be brewed up to nine times, hence the name Nine Lives Organic Oolong Tea.  

    This tea has a medium to light oxidation and a floral fragrance, which is hand-processed by a Taiwanese tea master who found this region after his quest to find the most pristine area to grow tea.

    Brewing Recommendations

    Serving Size: 3-5g per 100ml of purified water.

    Ideal Brewing Vessel: Porcelain tea pot or gaiwan; or high-fired, high profile thin clay teapot.

    Steeping: Boil water to 212F/100C and then wait for the water to stop bubbling before pouring the water down the inside of the brewing vessel, not directly on the leaves. Brew for 30 seconds, then replace the lid and pour the liquor into a gong dao bei (fairness pitcher) before apportioning into tea cups.  Add 15 seconds for each subsequent brew. Remove the lid of the brewing vessel to allow the leaves to cool between steepings. Flash brewing in this manner ensures this tea can be brewed up to 9+ times and brewed again the following morning if left overnight.
