How to make it

5 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Heat 240 ml of filtered water

    Heat 240 ml (1 cup) of filtered water to approximately 190°F (88°C). Avoid using fully boiling water as it can scorch the delicate leaves.

  2. Place 4 g of loose leaf oolong tea

    Place 4 g (2 tsp) of loose leaf oolong tea into a teapot or a tea infuser set inside a mug.

  3. Pour the hot water

    Pour the hot water over the tea leaves, ensuring they are fully submerged.

  4. Allow the tea to steep

    Allow the tea to steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Taste at 3 minutes to check for preferred strength; oolongs can vary significantly in intensity.

    5 min

  5. Remove the infuser or strain the tea leaves

    Remove the infuser or strain the tea leaves. Pour into a cup and enjoy plain to appreciate the nuanced flavors.

A little kitchen wisdom

Higher quality loose leaf oolong can be steeped multiple times (up to 5-7 infusions), with the flavor profile evolving each time. Always use filtered water for the cleanest taste.
