iTeaworld Oolong Tea Sampler, 4 Loose Leaf Varieties, 2.1 oz

This iTeaworld sampler introduces four distinct oolong teas, categorized by their fermentation levels to highlight the diversity of the category. The collection includes lightly fermented Tieguanyin, medium-fermented Minnan Narcissus and Fenghuang Dancong, and heavily fermented Dahongpao. The kit contains sixteen individual tea packs, with four packs allocated to each variety, allowing for a structured tasting experience that covers the full spectrum of oolong profiles.

The leaves are sourced from primary oolong-producing regions in Fujian and Guangdong, including Anxi, Jian'ou, Sanming, and Chaozhou. These freshly picked loose leaves are hand-roasted by master craftsmen with 20 to 30 years of experience, a process that imparts a characteristic roasted fragrance alongside the unique flavor of each specific tea. The product is composed of 100% original leaf tea cakes with no sugar or artificial additives, ensuring the natural aroma and taste remain prominent in both dry leaf and brewed cup.

Brewing flexibility is provided through specific guidelines for both Chinese and Western methods. For the Chinese method, use water at 212°F (100°C) with a ratio of 1g tea to 20ml water, steeping for 15 seconds. The Western method calls for water between 194-212°F (90-100°C), a ratio of 2-3g tea to 240ml water, and a steeping time of 3 to 5 minutes. Caffeine levels vary by variety; Tieguanyin Oolong offers a lower caffeine profile, while Dahongpao provides a higher caffeine content, accommodating different preferences for daily consumption.
