Named after the birthplace of Oolong in Jiangxi province. An naturally smoky oolong. One of the best known from China. A brief 15 second 'washing' followed by a short 1 - 2 minute steep results in the best cup. Multiple infusions encouraged. A great accompaniment to food.
Steeping Instructions
Use 1 Tbsp. of leaf per 8oz. cup.
Pour boiling water over leaves, steep 30 seconds and throw away the liquor.
Re-steep with fresh boiling water for 1 - 2 mins.
Can be re-infused.
Milk not recommended.
Tea Education
Wu Yi Oolong is in the classic shape of a long curled leaf that resembles a Black Dragon (Oolong). Oolongs vary in their range of oxidation and can result in a green (light oxidation) to a dark brown (longer oxidation). Wu Yi is a highly oxidized Oolong and more smokey and less floral than lighter green oolongs. They often have the characteristic stout style of leaf. Tastes associated with this style of Oolong are woody and thick with roasted notes. We recommend multiple short infusions for Wu Yi preceded by a technique called "washing" to remove some of its woody qualities. The distinct early flavor and smokiness makes this an Oolong to be enjoyed with meals and in the evenings. Second and third infusions are extremely pleasant.

Irish Breakfast - a strong cuppa
When I am looking for a some real punch in my teacup, I brew Irish Breakfast. It goes well with milk and is great for dunking my favorite biscuits (cookies in the USA).

Kenilworth - our family favorite
I grew up in a suburb of Cape Town, called Kenilworth. That is why I tried this blend of black tea. It has become a family favorite.

As I can't consume caffeine anymore, and I have been sad to not be able to drink my Silver Tips regular Earl Grey, I was so excited to find that they also have a decaffeinated Earl Grey! It is lovely and I am now able to enjoy my cup of tea again.

Memories of the tea room in Tarrytown
I currently enjoy six teas from Silver Tips. A gang of us in White Plains visited the tea room twice a week. Since there were four of us we ordered four different teas; each of us taking a half cup of each blend. My present choices come from those visits. I miss the shop and all the memories we made there.
